Bill No. 33 of 1949. A BILL TO AMEND THE ESTATES OF THE MENTALLY INCOMPETENT ACT NOTE. This Bill amends The Estates of the entally Incompetent Act, being

chapter of the Revised Statutes of Alberta, 1942. It amends sections 3, 2.3 (2) and 23 (3) and repeals sec­ tions to inclusive. Sections and of this Bill amend the long and

short titles of the Act. The present name is no longer appropriate as all provisiKlns relating to the estates of persons who are mentally incompetent have been taken out of this Act and placed in The Public Trustee Act. Sections 3, 23 (2) and 23 (3) are amended so that where they formerly referred to other provisions of The Estates of the Mentally Incompetent Act; they now refer to provisions of The Public Trustee Act. Sections and inclusive and Form A in the

Schedule are struck out as they have been incorporated into The Public Trustee Act, a new Act which is intended to consolidate in one Act certain provisions which were former­ ly contained in The Official Guardian Act, The Estates of the Mentally Incompetent Act, The JudicQ,ture Act, and The Trustee Act. The date of coming into force of the Act is fixed for the first day of July, 1949, because The Public Trustee Act comes into force on that date. KENNETH A. McKENZIE, Acting Legislative Counsel.
