Transferring ownership of an immovable

Responsibility : Chambre des notaires du Québec

As the liquidator of a succession (executor of the estate) or an heir, you must contact a notary to obtain the transfer of ownership of an immovable that belonged to the deceased.

A notary is the officer designated to write up a declaration of transmission of an inherited immovable. You must provide various documents, including proof of death, a copy of the deceased’s marriage or civil union contract, if applicable, a copy of the will and the municipal assessment of the building in question.
