What do we record?
We examine the documents and legal implications. You do not need to work out the arrangement yourself beforehand. We will agree on which missing documents we can request.
A check mark means you have prepared this item. It does not mean that the office has already checked the documents or that your file is complete.
You want to review this together
This overview will not be sent. Bring it with you to your appointment or discuss it at your first contact.
You save this for your own consultation. The office does not receive anything via this button.

Your questions, step by step
Thinking about later can feel uncertain. With a mandat de protection extrajudiciaire you can now discuss whom you trust and what assistance you wish in the future.
Why do I go to the notaire for this?
With a mandat de protection extrajudiciaire you preselect who may act for you and what this person is permitted to do. The notaire discusses limits, substitution and protection against conflicts of interest.
Who can make decisions for me if I can no longer do so myself?
Choose one or more trusted persons and a substitute.
Discuss banking affairs, home, care-related wishes, oversight and the moment the mandate takes effect.
Have the document drawn up, signed and registered in good time.
How does this proceed and how long does it take?
You must understand what you are deciding when giving the mandate. Registration is necessary for the mandate to remain effective in the event of later incapacity.
If you have any doubts about your health, it is best to get in touch quickly; there is no general fixed processing time.
Can you make your choice freely and with sufficient understanding?
Are powers, substitution and supervision appropriately defined?
Who acts when the interests of you and your representative conflict?
Are the correct form and registration arranged, and do other advance directives align?
We agree on which searches the office will conduct and which information you, your bank or another expert will provide.
What should I pay attention to before I sign?
Is someone allowed to sell or gift your home? Who acts in the event of a conflict of interest?
How is accounting carried out? Let representation for patient rights and personal advance directives be coordinated separately.
Is a passage still unclear? Feel free to ask for an explanation with an example from your own situation. Only sign when you understand what you are agreeing to.
What else must I arrange afterwards?
Tell the designated persons where the deed is and how to use it. Coordinate its use with your bank.
Review the mandate when your trust, health or family situation changes.
Which practical tips can help me?
Choose not only someone you trust but also someone capable of carrying out the task. Discuss practical implementation in advance.
What do these words mean?
Mandator
the person who gives the mandate.
Mandatary
the person who acts within the mandate on your behalf.
Incapacitated
no longer fully able to understand and weigh what a particular decision means.
Where can I find more explanation or help?
You do not have to phrase your question in legal terms. Tell what concerns you, what you want to arrange and if an important date is approaching.
We will look together at the next step. We agree in advance on how the office will assist you and what costs are involved.
