Overview

A marriage contract is a notarial document that lets future spouses choose how their property will be treated during the marriage and at its end.

Without a contract, the default regime in Quebec applies. A notary can explain the options, such as separation as to property, and prepare a contract that fits your situation. Certain rules, such as the family patrimony, apply whatever regime is chosen.
