The Curateur public and the mandate

The Curateur public can play various roles.

It can contest proof of incapacity at the time the mandate is homologated by the court, if it has received reports of abuse.
If there is a request for revocation of the mandate, the Curateur public can explain why it feels the mandate should be terminated and tutorship or curatorship set up.
The Curateur public also has the right of inquiry over the mandatary, if it receives reports that they are not performing their duties properly. It can even ask the court to relieve the mandatary of their functions.

Register of homologated mandates

What is in the Register

Each entry in the Register comprises a Curateur public file number, the first name and last name of the person who drew up the mandate, the mandatary's first and last name, the scope of their responsibilities (protection of the property or the person), the date on which the mandate was signed, and the date and number of the homologation decision.

You can access the Register of homologated mandates from our website or by calling one of our service points.

The Curateur public has to keep records about people under protective supervision. Among these records is a list of mandates that have been homologated by the court.

This register may be consulted by anyone who wants to know if someone is under the legal protection of a mandatary.

What the Curateur public cannot do

The Curateur public cannot be designated as a mandatary or as the person to whom the mandatary has to periodically report.
