Background

Thomas, age 58, immigrated to Canada from Greece in his 20s. Over the years, he built a small chain of budget-rate hotels in the GTA and has become wealthy beyond his dreams. His private corporation, Apollo Inc., owns the hotels and, in some cases, the land on which the hotels are built. Two years ago Apollo purchased a $5,000,000 Aetna term insurance policy on Thomas's life. Apollo is both the owner and beneficiary of this policy.

Thomas and his first wife divorced years ago and she returned to Greece. He has no ongoing obligations toward his first wife and is now happily married to Sari, 45. He has a son Tony, 28, from his first marriage and a daughter Lisa, 17, with Sari. Tony is actively involved in his father's business and Sari wants Lisa to become involved also.
