A will that is valid under the ''Indian Act'' may not be valid under BC provincial law because some parts, such as the requirement for a witness’s signature, may differ. So even a status Indian ordinarily resident on reserve should make sure a will meets the BC rules and the ''Indian Act''. Script numbers [[Making a Will and Estate Planning (Script 176)|176]] to [[Power of Attorney and Representation Agreements (Script 180)|180]] have more information on wills and estates. So does the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada estates program at 604.666.3931 in Vancouver and 1.888.917.9977 elsewhere in BC. | A will that is valid under the ''Indian Act'' may not be valid under BC provincial law because some parts, such as the requirement for a witness’s signature, may differ.
