FAQ

What types of wills are recognized in Quebec?

Quebec recognizes three types of wills: the notarial will (before a notary), the holographic will (entirely written by hand and signed) and the will before witnesses (signed in the presence of two witnesses).

Is a will made online valid in Quebec?

A will downloaded or printed from the internet is not valid as a holographic will (which must be entirely handwritten). It can serve as a template, but must be recopied by hand or signed before two witnesses to be valid.

What is a protection mandate (mandate in case of incapacity)?

It is a legal document that designates a trusted person to make decisions on your behalf if you become incapable (illness, accident). It covers the management of your property and decisions regarding your person.

Must a protection mandate be notarized?

It can be made before a notary or before two witnesses. The notarized mandate is safer because it does not need to be verified by the court in case of incapacity, which speeds up the process.
