PARENT READY™

In Quebec, can I sell my parent’s house using a power of attorney?

In Quebec, a power of attorney can authorize the sale of an immovable if the document gives the necessary authority and remains valid. If the parent is incapable and the power of attorney can no longer be used, another legal route such as a homologated protection mandate, tutorship or temporary representation may be required.

The key question is not simply whether a power of attorney exists. The family must verify the exact powers in the document, whether it is still in force, the parent’s current capacity, and whether the sale is the specific act that needs legal authority. Parent Ready helps assemble those facts before a notary, lawyer or other professional review.
