The mandate of protection, formerly known as the “mandate of incapacity”, is an essential legal tool that allows you to designate one or more trusted persons to manage your property and person in the event of your incapacity. In the absence of such a mandate, the provisions of the Civil Code of Qu\u00e9bec determine who will look after you and your property, which can lead to situations contrary to your wishes and to lengthy and costly legal proceedings.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The drafting of a mandate of protection often goes hand in hand with the drafting of a will. A mandate of protection focuses on the management of your property and person in the event of incapacity, while a will determines the distribution of your assets after your death. By drawing up these two legal documents, you can plan your future with peace of mind and guarantee your loved ones better protection.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

It is important to note that a notarized mandate of protection only takes effect once the court has been petitioned for its homologation.
