The Recipient of an Industrial Alliance Diploma RESP

The Diploma RESP (provided by Industrial Alliance), allows you to name someone as the plan beneficiary, including your child, grandchild, nephew, niece, and so on.
There are no limitations on the relationship between the beneficiary and you. The recipient you nominate must however be 14 years of age or under. A child may be appointed by different subscribers as the beneficiary of more than one RESP. However, certain laws must be observed when a recipient already has an RESP, to prevent over-contribution, the plan enables you to change recipients, even after the plan has been developed, you can still adjust the beneficiaries.
Regardless of the new beneficiary’s age, monthly payments will continue until the completion of the initial commitment period. All that is required, is a written notice of the beneficiary adjustment, along with the new beneficiary’s Social Insurance Number.
