Q: I realize this question is outside of your area of expertise but I have been reading your Q&A for years and am always amazed at your (and your members) breadth of knowledge. My CND morther recently passed away. She owned no property and all her assets were in TFSA's (4 children listed as beneficiaries) and GIC's in a nonregistered account. All asssets are to be evenly split amongst the 4 chidlren. I am the executor and my only question is, I have a sister in France that is to receive her share 1) does she have to pay any tax on the registered and nonregistered monies she receives or is it the same as in Canada where it is not deemed as income and is not taxed 2) with all the safeguards in place for fraud and money laundering are there limits/issues transfering her $80,000 inheritance and what is the best way to send it?
