To proceed with the settlement of the estate, we need a death certificate issued by the Director of Civil Status. In the absence of this certificate, we need a birth certificate issued by the parish where the deceased person was born or, failing that, the names of his/her father and mother, the parish and place of his/her birth, in order to request the certificate from the Director of Civil Status.
The death certificate issued by the Director of Civil Status of Quebec is the only document that officially establishes the death of the person in question. It may be requested by various private or government institutions during the estate settlement process.
