Proceeds on Life Insurance

Thursday, February 19, 2009

...What is your proceeds of disposition on a life insurance policy?...

he following circumstances result in proceeds of disposition for a policyholder and therefore a potential capital gain: (a) full or partial surrender of the policy, (b) a policy loan, (c) policy dividends, and (d) certain transfers of ownership of the policy.

The full surrender of a life insurance policy results in a capital gain equal to the policy's cash surrender value (CSV) less its adjusted cost base (ACB). Where there is a partial surrender, there is a pro-rated capital gain if the total CSV exceeds the ACB.

Loan amounts received from the insurer under the terms of the policy are included as proceeds. Loans and debts with third-parties are not included, nor is the assignment of the policy as collateral for a loan or debt.

Policy dividends are included as proceeds; however, where the dividend is used to pay premiums, the amount is not included.

With certain exceptions, the transfer of a policy to another owner is a disposition with proceeds equal to the CSV.

Day 2: Writing a Novel—The Deep Blue Hold

Friday, November 18th, 2016 Note: Unedited writings from my notebook for this novel. Square bracket items represent added comments. ... There’s also poetic justice for this crew for what they did to the women they kept.... I t’s still Friday to me. [Writing early Saturday morning.] I wasn’t in bed until 6h and up at 14h. Then lots of errands. Lots of walking. Felt tired earlier—something different. I haven’t spent much time thinking about this story. I seemed to have put my mind into another lane. Not what I want. I was thinking too much about my future as a successful writer. Not simply being a writer, but a successful writer. One that makes a good living off or from it. That’s a better goal. So what to say about this story. No title. Oh. I did decide on something. She can’t die. Too much of a downer. That would seem to rule out a revenge aspect by the husband. Maybe she does it. These guys [the baddies] have to get it in the end. I was thinking about how she wants to sink the s…

Bedtime Stories (2008)

Thursday, May 14, 2009 Bedtime Stories. Feature film. (2008, 99 mins) IMDB...a tame comedy that results in few laughs...

The dream of father and son is for the son to take over some day except there's a problem. The father isn't a very good manager and the place isn't making enough money. Enter the villain to buy it off him. The villain being a Mr. Hilton type who is able to turn lead into gold. Fast forward twenty years or so. The hotel is a large, thriving business, but for Sandler, instead of owning it or even managing it, he's the custodian who repairs broken dishwashers and replaces burnt-out light bulbs. The promise by the villain to put him in charge was either forgotten or ignored. Enter his estranged sister. She's a health freak with two young children. The father left a long time ago. Part of the humour…
