RDSP holder
The person or entity who sets up the RDSP is considered the "holder" of the plan. The holder will make decisions regarding the plan, including directing investments, and the amount and timing of payouts from the plan. Contributions to the RDSP can only be made by the holder, unless the holder has provided written consent for contributions to be made by another person or entity.
The holder of the RDSP may enter into a new RDSP for the beneficiary, but the pre-existing plan is required to be wound up within 120 days of the new plan being set up. Otherwise, the new plan will not qualify as an RDSP. Funds can be transferred tax-free from the old plan to the new plan.
