This presentation is complimentary for STEP members and will be broadcast in English.

Join us for an engaging webcast exploring how Indigenous, federal, and provincial/territorial laws intersect in wills and estate planning. Gain practical insights into modern treaties and self-government agreements, taxation on-reserve, the Indian Act, and settlement trusts to better serve Indigenous clients and communities.

The Indigenous Peoples of Canada have a unique relationship with Canada and its provinces, which can impact the wills and estates of their members. This important session will discuss:

• A jurisdictional overview of succession/incapacity law addressing modern treaties, self-government agreements, the Indian Act, and provincial/territorial law.
• Taxation on death of on-reserve and off-reserve interests.
• Estate administration under the Indian Act (and the effect of land codes, family homes on reserve, etc., on succession).
• Succession & incapacity planning with property on-and-off reserve.
• The settlement trust (with an emphasis on per capita distributions and individual interests, and impact of death).

This valuable webcast is offered free of charge for STEP Canada Members & Students.
Non-members are welcome to attend for a fee of $140 CAD + tax.

The original broadcast will air from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm. Our panelists will answer delegate questions LIVE after the broadcast. Ask your questions in the chat room and they will be addressed at the end of the webcast.
