1029.8.135. If, in a taxation year, a beneficiary under a registered education savings plan (in this section referred to as the “former beneficiary”) is replaced by another beneficiary (in this section referred to as the “new beneficiary”) a contribution made to the plan in the year by or on behalf of a subscriber under the plan for the former beneficiary is considered to have been made for the new beneficiary if the replacement made in the year is a recognized replacement.
For the purposes of the first paragraph, a recognized replacement means the replacement, at a particular time, of a former beneficiary under a registered education savings plan by a new beneficiary, if(a) the new beneficiary had not reached 21 years of age before the particular time and was, at that time, the brother or sister of the former beneficiary; or
(b) both beneficiaries were, at the particular time, connected by blood relationship or adoption to an original subscriber under the plan and neither of them had reached 21 years of age before the particular time.
