Fondation du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Québec v. Massé, 2009 QCCS 5118
Mtre Leblanc-Gagnon represented Applicants in a matter involving qualification of a residuary bequest set forth in a holograph will and, secondarily, the legality of a mandate conferred by the liquidators of the succession.
The debate over qualification of a residuary bequest being settled among the heirs out of court, the debate before the court strictly concerned the issue of the mandate conferred by the liquidators of the succession. The court confirmed the legality of such a mandate, finding that it did not constitute a general delegation of the powers conferred upon liquidators under the Civil Code.
