Succession
The death of a loved one is already difficult, and the legal formalities and necessary steps that follows it can rapidly accumulate. Our team of notaries will be able to accompany you in those procedures all while adapting the level of help that you will need.
In order to help you, we do a first meeting that is completely free, to discuss with you of the particular situation of the deceased and of his assets and liabilities that may require some actions on your behalf. We will then be able to guide you through this process and make sure that you don’t forget any step.
By example, we can assist you in doing the will research, get the proof of death from the Directeur de l’état civil, ask for the death benefits from the employer, file a claim for the life insurance policy, prepare the necessary documents to close the deceased bank account and for you to open the estate bank account, etc.
We can also prepare the notarized documents required by your situation, by example a declaration of heredity, a designation of the liquidator, a renunciation to the duty of liquidator, a declaration of transmission of an immovable, a renunciation to the estate, an inheritance inventory or a rendering of accounts.
Finally, we can also take care of necessary procedures for the estate, such as a verification of a holograph will or one made in the presence of witnesses, so that you will be able to use it afterwards.
