Protection of your patrimony
In Quebec, a notary can protect your assets by drafting a notarial will to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your death, and a protection mandate to choose someone to manage your property and personal care in case you become incapacitated. By creating these notarized documents, you ensure they are legally valid, registered in a secure registry, and their contents are clearly documented and difficult to challenge, providing peace of mind and a clear plan for your assets and well-being. Avoid long, complicated, unnecessary and costly processes like probate before the court and instead, let us help you with drafting, signing, conserving the deeds and registering them with the appropriate authorities. We can help with:
- Wills (simple and complicated trust wills)
- Protection Mandate in case of incapacity
- General Power of Attorney
- Specific Power of Attorney
