It is a legal document where you name someone to make decisions on your behalf if you become mentally or physically unable to do so.
Do I need a lawyer or a notary? expand_more
In Quebec, notaries are specialists in non-contentious law and are public officers who can authenticate documents, making them ideal for estate planning.

It can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the complexity of the assets and whether the will is contested.
