3.10 What happens if I am incapacitated and I do not have a mandate?

The court will name someone to look after you. This can cost a lot and take a long time. If there is no family member or close friend to look after you, the Public Curator of Quebec will be responsible for you and managing your property.

3.11 How long does a mandate in case of incapacity last?

A mandate ends when:

• you die;
• the court decides you are better and can take care of yourself and your property;
• the court removes the mandatary because he is not doing a good job or does not want to be the mandatary any more. A new mandatary can take over if you named a replacement in your mandate.
