| tips = The law about wills is somewhat different if you are a Registered Indian ordinarily resident on an Indian Reserve. You can write a '''holographic will''' (one that does not require witnesses), however this will may not be legal if you do not reside on reserve at the time of your death. There are also restrictions under the Indian Act about to whom you can leave your land on reserve. The procedure for probating a will or administering an estate is also different. An Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada Estates Officer can provide information about estates on reserve.
