Designating a Beneficiary on Non- Registered Assets
There are a number of planning strategies that can be used to bypass or minimize probate. Below is a common strategy to make your estate as efficient as possible.

Segregated funds can be used to designate a beneficiary on non-registered assets. Segregated funds are solely sold by life insurance companies.
