Declaration of successor certified by a notary - Signed in the presence of the notary

Description

• The declaration of successor acts as a transitional tool to identify potential heirs as part of the settlement or liquidation of an estate.
• Any successor has a six-month option, from the opening of the estate, to renounce or accept it.
• The declaration of successors does not, on its own, give the official status of heir and does not constitute an act of transfer of the estate.

• The declaration of successor is used as a transitional tool when:
• The transfer of an estate has not yet been formalized;
• The inventory must be prepared or submitted;
• Steps must be taken with third parties;
• The financial situation of the estate calls for increased caution;
• We want to secure the liquidator's steps before any irreversible decision.

• The document will be signed remotely and you will obtain a true copy (paper version) signed by the notary.
• The notary certifies and attests, by his signature alone, that he/she has verified the identity and capacity of the signing heirs and that the document reflects expressly their will.
• After examining the file, the notary may, according to his professional expertise, refuse the file if there is any doubt as to the identity and/or capacity of the signatory, any influence or interference from third parties or in the presence of any situation contrary to the law, professional ethics or public order. In such a case, an administrative fee of $150 plus tax will be withheld from any refundable amount, if applicable.
