Cross Border Wealth Management: Navigating your RESP
A Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) is a powerful asset when saving to pay for post-secondary education.

That’s a constant challenge for parents who want to help fund their children’s post-secondary education. Navigating those challenges becomes more complicated when the RESP subscriber or the beneficiary reside in different countries. This article gives you an informative overview of some of the most common challenges, and insight into the most effective ways to proactively manage an RESP as part of your cross-border tax and financial planning.
