In Quebec, when can someone start acting under my parent’s power of attorney?
In Quebec, a power of attorney and a protection mandate are different tools. A power of attorney authorizes acts involving property according to the document while the parent is capable; a protection mandate has no effect until a court homologates it after incapacity is established.

Do not assume that having a signed document means it can be used in every situation. First identify whether the document is a power of attorney or a protection mandate, what powers it gives, whether it is still valid, and whether the parent is still capable. Parent Ready helps the family verify those points before an emergency creates a gap.
