Help preparing the official form: the tool prepares your answers, line by line, and links the official form. You check each line, transfer it onto the official form, sign it and handle any oath, notification and filing yourself. The tool guarantees no outcome.

Official form

Mon mandat de protection (Curateur public) (PDF en ligne au 2026-10-21) ↗

The official PDF is neither reproduced nor pre-filled by the tool: Québec government content may not be reproduced without prior authorization (quebec.ca “Droit d’auteur”, updated 10 February 2025, read on 2026-10-21). You copy the prepared answers onto the official form yourself, check each line and sign it.

What the provisions read require

• C.C.Q., art. 2166 — French text: the protection mandate is made “par acte notarié en minute ou devant témoins”; it takes effect after the incapacity is “constatée par des rapports d’évaluation médicale et psychosociale” and on homologation “sur demande du mandataire désigné dans l’acte”. (LégisQuébec — Code civil du Québec, read on 2026-10-21)
• C.C.Q., art. 2167 — French text: “rédigé par le mandant ou par un tiers”; two witnesses without interest in the act “en mesure de constater son aptitude à agir”. (LégisQuébec — Code civil du Québec, read on 2026-10-21)
• Québec.ca, Faire votre mandat de protection (updated 6 January 2026) — French text: witnesses “doivent être majeurs et aptes”, “doivent pouvoir constater par écrit que vous disposez de toutes vos capacités intellectuelles”, “ne doivent pas avoir de rôle dans le mandat de protection”; “le Curateur public ne peut pas être mandataire”. (Gouvernement du Québec — Faire votre mandat de protection, read on 2026-10-21)
• Curateur public form “Mon mandat de protection” — Sections 1 to 14 (13-01): mandatary or mandataries, replacements, housing, end-of-life wishes, powers, inventory “au cours des 60 jours suivant l’homologation”, rendering of account, remuneration, signature, witnesses; initials on each page. (Curateur public — Mon mandat de protection (formulaire), read on 2026-10-21)

Time limits read

• No deadline to make a mandate. After homologation, the form provides for an inventory within 60 days (form, section 6, per 13-01).

Exhibits and documents

• No exhibit. Québec.ca recommends giving a copy to the mandatary and keeping the original in a safe place.

To verify (not read or not settled)

• Content of sections 9 and 12 of the form: not transcribed by 13-01.
• Homologation of the mandate (P2, homologation-mandat) and the notarial mandate (reserved act): not covered.
• Authorization to pre-fill the Curateur public PDF: to request (quebec.ca “Droit d’auteur”).

Help preparing the official form (category B). Sections follow the Curateur public form as read by research 13-01 (141 fields); arts. 2166-2167 C.C.Q. and the Québec.ca page updated 6 January 2026 (read on 2026-10-21) are quoted. End-of-life wishes are never suggested by the tool. Québec statutes and most Québec sources linked here were read in French; English wording in this guide is an unofficial summary unless an official English text is linked.

Preuve en main is a preparation and legal-information tool. It gives no legal advice, replaces neither a lawyer nor the official form, and guarantees no outcome.
