If a will is made with LSLAP, the forms are also on file in the LSLAP office. '''A copy of the notice should be made and the original notice should be sent to the Vital Statistics Agency'''. The copy should be either kept with the will or with the personal representative. Do not send a copy of the will. Students may not sign the notice as the client’s solicitor. The client must sign the form. | If a will is made with LSLAP, the forms are also on file in the LSLAP office.

'''NOTE ON ELECTRONIC WILLS:''' The Wills Notice Form does not provide dedicated space to indicate the electronic location of a will. If they chose to register an electronic will, a client should use the address space on the form to indicate the digital location of the will. This might be in the form of a link to a cloud storage space, the file path to a document stored on a hard drive, or something else entirely. Clients should consider potential barriers to accessing an electronic will. If it proves impossible to locate or access an electronic will after the will maker is deceased, their estate will be distributed as if the electronic will did not exist. Electronic wills are very new in BC, and there is little jurisprudence surrounding their use. | :'''NOTE ON ELECTRONIC WILLS:''' The Wills Notice Form does not provide dedicated space to indicate the electronic location of a will.
