1960's wills in BC Canada

[HmmS336]

Is it possible to buy a will from the 1960's?  I have a relative that died in Vancouver and Ancestry has thrown up an internment of ashes in the UK, that included the same Street as the death cert.

I assume this request would be from a will as she had no family there and lived alone - a friend signed the death cert.

Thank you

You may find it online at FamilySearch. (free to view and download, but you must register first).

Start here: https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2001882

Then search the INDEX to get the sets of numbers at the end of the name you are interested in, then go look for those numbers under WILLS.

Thank you I am giving that a try.

It seems a laborious process - though perhaps I am doing it wrong!

If you aren't having any luck finding her, and you want to keep her name off a public forum, you can pm her name (as it appears on her death reg), and I will look for you.

After 654 clicks (!!!!) I got to the appropriate place - unfortunately her name is not listed.

Thanks bbart for your help and showing me this.  Just a shame there is no will listed.

Perhaps she left an expression of wishes or similar.

If I remember correctly, alphabetization is based only on the first couple letters, so just want to make sure you looked far enough!
If you want me to double check, feel free to send me her name.

Perhaps she did not have a will, but someone in the UK arranged for her to be sent home.

Thank you - a message is on its way.

You are right, she is not listed.
Now I see why you had to click so many times... normally you can enter page numbers to jump ahead, but it, for some reason, is only moving one page at a time.  Consider that your daily workout!

So it would seem that her friend on the death registration must have contacted someone in the UK to send her home.  You could try asking the crematorium, but I am not sure if they would have retained those records of transport.
Their address is the same as that on her death record, but I can't seem to find an email address for them:
