3.3 What is a mandate in case of incapacity?

A mandate in case of incapacity is a written document that allows
you to choose in advance the person who will make decisions about
your person and your property if you become incapacitated.
The person you choose is called a mandatary.

The mandate only applies while you are alive.

3.4 How do I make a mandate in case of incapacity?

You can make a notarized mandate or a mandate before witnesses.

A notarized mandate:

• A notary prepares your mandate using information you provide;
• A notarized mandate is easier to approve in court because
  the notary has already made sure you were capable when
  you prepared the mandate;
• The notary will register your mandate in the Registre des
  dispositions testamentaires et des mandats du Québec
  (Quebec Register of Wills and Mandates).
