Other Ways to Use Your RRSP

“Why Name a Beneficiary on My RRSP?”
A beneficiary named on your RRSP does not have to wait until after your bills are paid or assets distributed to receive the money2. What’s more, if your beneficiary is your spouse/partner or a dependent child, your estate may save on taxes as the money doesn’t have to be entered as income on your final tax return.
