How signing works in Quebec
Signing your will
- Gather two adult witnesses. They should not be people who get anything under your will.
- With both witnesses there, tell them this document is your will. You do not have to show them what it says.
- Sign your will at the end while both witnesses watch.
- Each witness signs right away while you watch.
- You and each witness put your initials on every page you did not sign.
- Keep the original somewhere safe.
Quebec does not allow electronic wills. You print your will and sign it in ink.
A notarial will is made with a notary and kept on file. We can refer you to a notary.
How to sign your protection mandate
- Fill in the name of the person who will check the accounts.
- Gather two adult witnesses who get nothing from this document. They should know you well enough to see you understand it.
- Tell them this is your protection mandate. You do not have to show them what it says.
- Sign it at the end while both witnesses watch.
- Each witness signs right away while you watch.
- Keep the original somewhere safe.
We give you a printed signing checklist for each document.
