A father passes away. He leaves behind a spouse and two adult children. What happens next depends on one thing: did he have a notarized will, an unnotarized will, or no will at all?
That's the story we'll walk through in this 2-hour introductory webinar on settling an estate in Quebec. Dealing with a death, funeral, and the paperwork that follows is emotional — and the legal requirements can feel like a maze.
Moderated by Ruth Pelletier, the session covers the immediate steps to take after a death, and what's expected of the person settling the estate (the "liquidator" in Quebec law).
The workshop in three parts
- The first 3 things to do after a death
- After the search for a will
- Settling the estate (liquidation)
