Presented by the CBA's National Wills Estates and Trusts Section in conjunction with the National Aboriginal Law Section live via webconference

Our expert panel will guide you through the unique aspects of wills and estate administration for Aboriginal Peoples in Canada. The system of land-holding within First Nations communities is complex and poses special challenges for wills and estates lawyers working (or with an aim to work) in this specialized field. 

Learn more about the significance of Indian status to estate planning, the special rules for intestacy, the role of the Indian Act and the federal Minister, and significant regional differences. 

This presentation will be followed by a Q & A with the speakers.

Speakers:

Tom Vincent, Department of Justice
Roy Gray, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada
Naiomi Metallic, Burchells LLP
