FAQ

What are the types of wills recognized in Quebec?

Quebec recognizes three types of wills: the notarial will (before a notary), the holograph will (entirely handwritten 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 holograph will (which must be entirely handwritten). It can serve as a model, but must be recopied by hand or signed before two witnesses to be valid.

What is a power of attorney for protection (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 care for your person.

Must a power of attorney for protection be notarized?

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