The search for a will is an important task that must be undertaken following a death. You must check the deceased’s personal effects and safety deposit box, or contact persons or organizations that may be in possession of the will.
You must then verify whether another will exists by having a search conducted in the Registres des dispositions testamentaires et des mandats du Québec. This step is essential in order to ensure that you have the final version of the will, since only the most recent version has legal force.
To request a search in the Registre des dispositions testamentaires et des mandats du Québecgo to the Website of the Chambre des notaires du Québec.
