Wills
What is a will
Making a will isn’t mandatory, but it’s recommended in order to specify your last wishes and facilitate the settlement of your succession.
A will is a document in which you can specify:
- who will inherit your property;
- who will take care of your children if they are under 18 years of age when you die and the other parent is dead or incapable;
- who will be responsible for settling your succession.
Because a will is a legal document, you can be sure that your wishes will be respected. To be valid, however, it must meet certain conditions. Three forms of wills are recognized in Québec.
