While
we still have all our intellectual faculties and we can see to the
management of our belongings, it can be cautious to foresee what will
happen to your person and belongings in case of ineptitude.
A
mandate in case of inaptitude allows us to choose a person
capable to take over for you and take care of you and the management
of your belongings. A mandate in provision of inaptitude will take
effect as soon as it is noted by a competent notary.
In
absence of that mandate, when inaptitude occurs, a request has to
be made to the court and a family council has to be convened to name
a person responsable for the management of yourself and your belongings.
If a family council cannot be convened, the Public Curator will be
appointed to take care of you and your belongings.
To
avoid this long and costly procedure, it is in your advantage to choose
the person that will take care of you and your belongings by making,
with your notary, a mandate in case of inaptitude.
