4 RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE<br />

MANDATARY CONCERNING<br />

THE PROTECTION OF MY PERSON<br />

These clauses are not obligatory: you can<br />

cross out some or all <strong>of</strong> the section you<br />

do not want <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> your <strong>mandate</strong>.<br />

Remember that the mandatary to the person<br />

must be a physical person—a family<br />

member, friend or someone else—whose<br />

role will be to ensure the protection <strong>of</strong><br />

your person and your moral and material<br />

welfare and to consent to certa<strong>in</strong> care on<br />

your behalf. If you do not authorize your<br />

mandatary to give consent to care (4.3),<br />

consent will be given by your spouse or<br />

another family member or friend.<br />

5 RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE<br />

MANDATARY CONCERNING<br />

THE ADMINISTRATION<br />

OF MY PROPERTY<br />

It is important to be clear about the powers<br />

you give your mandatary.<br />

By giv<strong>in</strong>g him the powers <strong>of</strong> simple adm<strong>in</strong>istration,<br />

your mandatary will require<br />

authorizations to perform certa<strong>in</strong> significant<br />

actions. He will have to manage your day-today<br />

bus<strong>in</strong>ess and preserve and ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong><br />

your moveable and immoveable property.<br />

He will not be able to sell assets without<br />

your authorization if you are able to give it,<br />

and if not, without the authorization <strong>of</strong> the<br />

court, unless it <strong>in</strong>volves assets that are perishable<br />

or likely to depreciate rapidly. If he<br />

makes <strong>in</strong>vestments <strong>in</strong> your name, they must<br />

be "presumed sound," which means they<br />

must comply with the def<strong>in</strong>ition given by<br />

the Civil Code <strong>of</strong> <strong>Québec</strong> (several types <strong>of</strong><br />

bonds, certificates <strong>of</strong> deposit, etc.).
