Since the reform of the Civil Code of Qu\u00e9bec in November 2022, the official term is &#8220;protection mandate&#8221;. The old term &#8220;mandate in case of incapacity&#8221; is still commonly used, but both refer to exactly the same legal act.  <\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:8px;margin-bottom:12px;overflow:hidden\">\n<summary style=\"padding:16px 20px;background:#f8fafc;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;color:#0d1f2d;font-size:1rem\">Is a protection warrant made in the presence of witnesses legal?<\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding:16px 20px;color:#475569;line-height:1.6\">Yes, absolutely. A mandate signed in the presence of two adult witnesses has exactly the same legal value as a notarial mandate. The only difference is at the time of homologation: the court will have to verify the authenticity of the mandate made in the presence of witnesses, whereas the notarial mandate is presumed to be authentic.  <\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:8px;margin-bottom:12px;overflow:hidden\">\n<summary style=\"padding:16px 20px;background:#f8fafc;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;color:#0d1f2d;font-size:1rem\">How much does a protection mandate cost at the notary&#8217;s office?<\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding:16px 20px;color:#475569;line-height:1.6\">A notary&#8217;s fees to draft a protection mandate generally vary between $250 and $600 in Quebec. This price can increase if your situation is complex (business, blended family, significant assets). Our free template is a great alternative for simple situations.  <\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:8px;margin-bottom:12px;overflow:hidden\">\n<summary style=\"padding:16px 20px;background:#f8fafc;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;color:#0d1f2d;font-size:1rem\">Who can witness my protection mandate?<\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding:16px 20px;color:#475569;line-height:1.6\">Any adult (18 years of age or older) who is not named as a proxy in the document may serve as a witness. Witnesses must be present at the time of signing and attest that you were in full possession of your mental faculties. Ideally, choose people who know you well.  <\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:8px;margin-bottom:12px;overflow:hidden\">\n<summary style=\"padding:16px 20px;background:#f8fafc;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;color:#0d1f2d;font-size:1rem\">Can I change or revoke my protection mandate?<\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding:16px 20px;color:#475569;line-height:1.6\">Yes, as long as you are capable, you can change or revoke your protection mandate at any time. All you have to do is draft a new mandate that explicitly revokes the previous one (our template includes this clause). Once approved by the court (after a proven incapacity), only the court can modify it.  <\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:8px;margin-bottom:12px;overflow:hidden\">\n<summary style=\"padding:16px 20px;background:#f8fafc;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;color:#0d1f2d;font-size:1rem\">What happens if I don&#8217;t have a protection mandate?<\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding:16px 20px;color:#475569;line-height:1.6\">Without a warrant, if you become incapacitated, a relative will have to apply to the court for guardianship. This process costs between $2,000 and $5,000, takes several months, and the court will choose your guardian \u2014 not necessarily the person you would have chosen. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s essential to prepare your mandate now.  <\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:8px;margin-bottom:12px;overflow:hidden\">\n<summary style=\"padding:16px 20px;background:#f8fafc;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;color:#0d1f2d;font-size:1rem\">Does the protection mandate cover medical decisions?<\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding:16px 20px;color:#475569;line-height:1.6\">Yes. The substitute decision-maker can consent to health care on your behalf. You can also specify in the mandate your wishes regarding end-of-life care, relentless treatment and the administration of medication. These guidelines will guide your substitute decision-maker and the medical team.  <\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:8px;margin-bottom:12px;overflow:hidden\">\n<summary style=\"padding:16px 20px;background:#f8fafc;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;color:#0d1f2d;font-size:1rem\">At what age should a protection mandate be issued?<\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding:16px 20px;color:#475569;line-height:1.6\">There is no minimum or recommended age. Every adult should have a protection mandate, because incapacity can occur at any age (accident, stroke, degenerative disease). In practice, many Quebecers do it around the age of 50 or 60, but ideally, you should prepare for it as an adult, especially if you have children or assets to protect.  <\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:8px;margin-bottom:12px;overflow:hidden\">\n<summary style=\"padding:16px 20px;background:#f8fafc;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;color:#0d1f2d;font-size:1rem\">What is the role of the Public Curator in the protection mandate?<\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding:16px 20px;color:#475569;line-height:1.6\">The Curateur public du Qu\u00e9bec keeps a register of protection mandates. At the time of homologation, he is notified and can object if the mandate does not respect the interests of the principal. It may also investigate an agent who is not properly fulfilling his responsibilities.
