Though it's not a topic anyone finds enjoyable, planning for intergenerational wealth transfer is some of the most meaningful work I feel that I do. Hearing client feedback, such as the testimonial below, reminds me just how invaluable those conversations are.
"After selling our farm land and needing to find a financial/estate planner we happened upon Angela which was our next best decision that we had made. She helped us to get our financial plans in order including setting up a life insurance plan that would ensure our children and grandchildren would benefit from our money and not the government.
Angela is very personable and friendly and she has become like family to us and treats us the same way. We never feel overwhelmed when dealing with her as she explains everything in a way that we both can understand without getting frustrated. She is very down to earth and her office and staff are also very friendly with a great atmosphere so we always feel welcomed when we go there.
Her recap emails to us after our meetings are always very detailed and easy to understand. She has surpassed our expectations for a financial planner in all ways and we will continue to recommend her and Fiducia Financial Solutions to everyone we can."

🌟Succession Planning Success Story 🌟
In the world of financial planning, every client's journey is unique and inspiring. I recently had a conversation with a client facing a pivotal decision: trading the stress of their business for a more fulfilling life.
Our discussion was a testament to the power of forward thinking and careful planning. The choice they made to sell was not just right for them but also for their family's future.
What makes this story even more remarkable is the prospect of the purchaser retaining them to continue their work. It's a great example of the best of both worlds—paving the way for a fulfilling life while preserving their legacy.
This experience reminds me why I'm passionate about succession planning. Guiding clients towards a brighter future is a privilege.

Building long and lasting relationships is something I value deeply. As some of you may know, I took time recently to travel to Italy with my family. On our trip I was fortunate to reconnect with a friend whom I've known since my time working at Bombardier 20+ years ago. Bruno, an Italian Air Force pilot, who was training in Canada at that time, and I struck up a friendship and he spent many Sunday dinners with my family.
Fast forward to my recent trip to Italy, my daughter and I were invited to stay with Bruno (Colonel DiTora) and his beautiful family in Caserta. They welcomed us with open arms, and we had such a lovely time together. The top picture is us in Positano!
This experience has me reflecting on the significance of maintaining relationships – both in my personal and professional life – and how much joy it brings to stay in touch with friends and clients both near and far!

I’m proud to share that after several months of hard work I’ve officially achieved my designation as a Chartered Financial Divorce Specialist (CFDS)!
Life-long learning and career development are so important to me, but beyond that, this certification is near and dear because I’ve experienced the financial impacts of divorce having watched my mother struggle through one herself.
I’m looking forward to offering a newly specialized set of skills and knowledge to help potential clients navigate divorce situations while staying on track for successful financial futures!

The final #TuesdayTravelTip this month is about spending smart on your trip ✈️
Save money when using your credit card abroad by saying no to merchants offering to convert your purchases into Canadian currency, a service known as dynamic currency conversion.
It might sound convenient, but it often comes with high fees and less favorable exchange rates than the more competitive rates offered by your credit card provider.
Whenever you have the choice, go for the local currency option and keep more money in your pocket for those unforgettable travel experiences!

With Mother's Day coming up this weekend, I want to take the opportunity to share my latest proud Mom moment.
My beautiful daughter, Vita, is graduating from grade 12 this year and was accepted into a post secondary program of which she is one of only 30 students accepted each year. I could not be more proud!
I am so glad I saved in her RESP for all these years, as now we can focus on her needs without any financial worry. We contributed the maximum for 10 years and let the markets do the rest. Despite living through the 2008 market crash and this latest one, the discipline of staying the course has really paid off!
Happy early Mother's Day to all the proud Moms out there 😊

Tip Tuesday!
One of the most important aspects of your finances you need to communicate with your loved ones is what money/items are where and who to contact to access everything in the event something unexpected happens.
Making a "financial map" – whether it's digital (i.e. on a thumb drive) or printed and stored securely - is a great way to give them the information they'll need to do what needs to be done.

7 tips for executors
In my practice I've had many clients who have taken on the role of power of attorney or executor on behalf of a loved one, most often a parent. Taking on these roles can be very stressful, especially when there's been a lack of communication from that loved one, whether it be about the specifics of their financials or even their overall wishes.
