- Certificate
or copy of the death certificate;
- Certificates
of will search (Chamber of Notaries and Bar Association of
Quebec);
- Civil
registration records establishing family relationships;
- Marriage
or civil union certificate, if applicable;
- Any
will that has been found, even if it is inapplicable;
- Two
valid forms of identification for the signatories.
Other documents may be required depending on the specifics
of the estate, such as court judgments, proof of residence,
bank documents, or prior legal documents.
