Wills and mandates

Search for a will or mandate

Are you looking for a will or a protection mandate? You must search through the Registers of wills and mandates of the Barreau du Québec.

Due to a significant increase in the volume of requests we are receiving, certificates from the Registers of wills and mandates of the Barreau du Québec are currently being issued within approximately three weeks. The Barreau du Québec understands the inconvenience this may cause and its team is making every effort to reduce this delay as much as possible, given the current circumstances.

Perform a search

With this search, you can obtain a search certificate confirming whether a will or mandate has been registered in the Registers of wills and mandates of the Barreau du Québec. If a will or mandate has been registered, you will obtain the contact information of the lawyer who has the document in question and you will be able to retrieve it from that lawyer.

It is important to also contact the Chambre des notaires du Québec to perform the same search so you can obtain a search certificate regarding the registers kept with respect to notaries.
