The substitute mandatary is the person<br />

who will take over as mandatary <strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>case</strong> your pr<strong>in</strong>cipal mandatary cannot<br />

execute the <strong>mandate</strong>. As you have chosen<br />

several mandataries, you can designate<br />

one substitute for each <strong>of</strong> them. By<br />

check<strong>in</strong>g the last box, you allow the last<br />

rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g mandatary to cont<strong>in</strong>ue to act:<br />

he will then act to protect your person<br />

and adm<strong>in</strong>ister your property.<br />

3 INVENTORY AND REPORT<br />

Although optional, these clauses are a<br />

wise precaution and will facilitate the<br />

task <strong>of</strong> the mandatary when prepar<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the f<strong>in</strong>al account at the end <strong>of</strong> his adm<strong>in</strong>istration.<br />

When the person receiv<strong>in</strong>g the management<br />

report is <strong>in</strong>formed <strong>of</strong> the mandatary’s adm<strong>in</strong>istration,<br />

they make sure that the decisions<br />

concern<strong>in</strong>g both the protection <strong>of</strong> the person<br />

and the management <strong>of</strong> the person’s<br />

property have been made <strong>in</strong> the mandator’s<br />

<strong>in</strong>terest.<br />

If this <strong>in</strong>divi<strong>du</strong>al notices that the mandatary<br />

has been negligent <strong>in</strong> the performance<br />

<strong>of</strong> their <strong>du</strong>ties, they can take the<br />

appropriate steps to correct the situation.<br />

Ideally, the person asked to receive<br />

reports from your mandatary will not be<br />

the designated substitute who could be<br />

asked to act as the pr<strong>in</strong>cipal mandatary.<br />

If this is unavoidable, it is important to<br />

designate a second substitute to receive<br />

the reports and ensure cont<strong>in</strong>uous supervision.<br />

The <strong>in</strong>ventory is a sort <strong>of</strong> a description<br />

<strong>of</strong> the mandator’s assets at the time when<br />

the mandatary responsible for adm<strong>in</strong>ister<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the property commences their<br />

<strong>du</strong>ties. An <strong>in</strong>ventory is absolutely necessary<br />

if a verification <strong>of</strong> the mandatary’s<br />

management is required at a later date. It<br />

should <strong>in</strong>clude an accurate list and<br />

description <strong>of</strong> all the property to be managed,<br />

except for property and personal<br />

effects worth less than $100, which can<br />

be described generally (e.g., a set <strong>of</strong> 10<br />

dresses, 5 suits, kitchen utensils, an envelope<br />

<strong>of</strong> documents and pictures, etc.).<br />
