It often occurs that these unhappy times uncover ancient grudges and difficulties that even the deceased could not have foreseen. Your notary can help you go through this difficult time and provide guidance throughout every step to make sure the requirements of the <em>Civil Code of Quebec<\/em> are respected while protecting yourself and the heirs from any legal consequences of any error or omission.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The liquidation of a succession is a complex exercise which raises many questions. Did the deceased leave a notarial will? If not, is there a holograh or witnessed will? How to proceed to probate the will? Who will have to pay for the funerals? Who is responsible for the debts of the deceased? Is the succession solvent? Should we proceed to a renunciation? What are the duties and obligations of the liquidator? What are the steps to be undertaken in fiscal matters? What are the following steps?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Our professionals can assist you through the various steps of the settlement of an estate, from the will search to the complete settlement of an estate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Contact one of our professionals to guide you through this heavy responsibility and have peace of mind throughout the entire process.<\/p>\n<p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;]<a  itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/dumaisgiardnotaires.com\/en\/contact\" target=\"_self\" data-hover-background-color=\"#007399\" data-hover-border-color=\"#007399\" data-hover-color=\"#ffffff\" class=\"qbutton  small center default\" style=\"color: #ffffff; border-color: #009acf; font-style: normal; font-weight: 500; background-color:#009acf;\">REQUEST FOR QUOTATION<\/a>[\/qode_elements_holder_item][\/qode_elements_holder][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; padding_bottom=&#8221;50&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1501797057388{margin-top: -1px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;custom_class&#8221;][vc_column el_class=&#8221;custom_home_notaries&#8221;][qode_elements_holder number_of_columns=&#8221;two_columns&#8221; columns_proportion=&#8221;33_66&#8243;][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=&#8221;top&#8221; advanced_animations=&#8221;no&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#009acf&#8221; item_padding=&#8221;30px 3% 50px 3%&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1501848844009{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;custom_column1_title&#8221;] SUCCESSION [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1501848855809{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}&#8221;] Settlement of an estate Probate of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"full_width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-204","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dumaisgiardnotaires.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dumaisgiardnotaires.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dumaisgiardnotaires.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dumaisgiardnotaires.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dumaisgiardnotaires.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=204"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/dumaisgiardnotaires.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/204\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":484,"href":"https:\/\/dumaisgiardnotaires.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/204\/revisions\/484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dumaisgiardnotaires.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
