Homologation of a mandate provided in anticipation of incapacity

When an individual becomes unfit, the mandate he or she signed for that eventuality must be officially put into effect by means of a court judgment so that the representative designated may assume his duties. This is referred to as homologating the mandate. The notary is thoroughly familiar with all of the proceedings and procedures required to obtain such of homologating. The notary can obtain the medical and psycho-social assessments, meets with the unfit individual in order to question him and takes note of his condition. The notary writes a report, submits the application and obtains a judgment homologating the mandate.

What if the unfit individual recovers and wants to resume control of his or her own affairs? No problem. The notary can handle all of the formalities required to officially terminate the mandate.
