To what extent the declarations of co-ownership drafted before 1994 should be modified?

The declarations of co-ownership drafted before 1994 are subjected to the prescriptions of the new Civil Code of Quebec. This legislation makes mandatory some new provisions and inoperative certain clauses of already existing agreements. However, other clauses appearing in the old declarations, for example the declarations relative to the majority votes and determination of common expenses, remain valid. It is thus in a purpose of protection and compliance with the law that it is strongly suggested to proceed to the update of a declaration of co-ownership prior to 1994. So it is in your best interest to contact a legal expert in order to clarify and properly understand the clauses governing from now on your co-ownership.
