Civil responsibility for a Canadian car

Posted on January 13th, 2023 by JOSE

Hi, we own a condominium in Florida that we use for five months a year. Can I have a car’s civil responsibility (more than two million) for a Canadian car that I will leave in Florida all year around. I will be using the car for less than six months a year and it will be in storage for the rest of the time.

Selling property

Posted on January 13th, 2023 by JOSE

My wife and I are thinking of selling our property in Florida and would like to know the steps in the process. I assume that we would go through a lawyer when it sells, but are there any U.S. taxes and/or fees which we would need to pay? We have heard conflicting stories from others who have sold. Thanks for clarifying this issue.

Passport renewal six-month rule

Posted on January 13th, 2023 by JOSE

If my passport expires on September 15, 2023 and I will be in Florida from December 1, 2022 until April 15, 2023, do I need to renew my passport before I leave? Would the six-month rule impact this?

Ontario licence renewal stickers

Posted on January 13th, 2023 by JOSE

With the elimination of the annual vehicle licence fee, many Ontarians registered online and received acceptance of registration in a confirming email, but nothing to attach to our vehicle or ownership as in the past. Is this confirmation an acceptable form of proof in another province or state that our vehicle registration is up to date? Can we remove existing stickers so as not to draw attention to those reading 2022?

Vehicle insurance

Posted on January 13th, 2023 by JOSE

My insurance agent is telling me that I need extra coverage if I drive my car to Florida for the winter. They say that any vehicle staying in the U.S. for more than 30 days requires special coverage. Is this correct?

Transferring ownership of property

Posted on September 19th, 2022 by JOSE

My father-in-law would like to transfer ownership of his property in Florida to my wife and me. We are thinking of joining the title with all three and, upon his passing, it would pass to my wife and me as surviving owners. Will that work to avoid capital gains or gift tax?

Will in the U.S.

Posted on September 19th, 2022 by JOSE

We were updating our will in Canada and our lawyer advised us to make a will in the U.S. as well, because we own property in Arizona. Is this common? If not, we do not want to spend thousands in the U.S. to do a second will.

U.S. bank accounts

Posted on September 19th, 2022 by JOSE

Keeping a U.S. bank account would be very convenient for us for our spending in the U.S. Can you make any suggestions regarding how we can either keep our Wells Fargo account or such at another bank in the U.S.

I’ve just become aware of the form 8840. Do I need to complete the form if I don’t meet the substantial presence test for time in the U.S.?
