In Quebec, what happens if my parent becomes incapable without a protection mandate?
In Quebec, if a person becomes incapable and needs representation but has no usable protection mandate, a tutorship may need to be opened by the court. The family should first verify whether a mandate exists and whether representation is actually required.

The first step is not simply to take over. Quebec guidance points to involving relatives, having the person assessed by health and social-services professionals, checking for a protection mandate and, when representation is needed and no usable mandate exists, applying to the court for a tutorship. Parent Ready helps organize the documents, people and access questions around that process.
