You are free to agree or refuse to act as liquidator of a succession, unless you are the sole heir. Even if your name appears on the will and you have given your consent, acceptance of the responsibility is valid only after the death of the testator. If you are not an heir, you are entitled to an amount of money to carry out your task.
If you are the liquidator and an heir, you cannot demand remuneration, unless the other heirs agree. If you agree to act as liquidator, your name must be entered in the Register of Personal and Movable Real Rights (RPMRR) and, if the succession includes immovable property, in the Québec land register.
If you refuse to act as liquidator, you may do so in writing.
