The register of incapacity mandates

Quebec notaries have access to a centralized registration system to ensure that all mandates are easily traced, thus guaranteeing that your wishes will be respected. Once you have signed your mandate before a notary, he or she will see that it is entered in the Register of Mandates Given in Anticipation of Incapacity kept by the Chambre des notaires du Québec.

This system offers the following advantages:

• Any notarial mandate can be located

• Your last notarial mandate can be identified

• The risk, following incapacity, of a mandate’s being disregarded or belatedly traced is eliminated.
