Designation of a liquidator of the succession
The purpose of registering this designation in the RDPRM is to make known the name of the liquidator or liquidators of a given succession. The heirs and any other interested persons will thus know whom to contact to assert their rights in the succession.
Replacement of a liquidator of the succession
The purpose of registering the replacement of a liquidator of the succession is to notify the heirs and any other interested persons, such as creditors, that a new liquidator is acting on behalf of the succession.
Closing the inventory
The liquidator of the succession must produce an inventory of the deceased’s property and debts. A notice of the closing of this inventory, not the inventory itself, must be entered in the RDPRM to inform the heirs and any other interested persons, such as the estate’s creditors, where this inventory can be consulted.
Closing the Liquidator’s Account
When the debts of the estate and any special bequests have been discharged, the executor must prepare a detailed balance sheet, the Executor’s Statement of Account, to show the surplus or deficit of the estate. Once this account and the division of property have been accepted by the heirs, a notice of the closing of the liquidator’s account and not the contents of the account must be entered in the RDPRM to inform any interested person where the account may be viewed. This entry also confirms that the estate has ended and that the liquidator is discharged from the administration of the estate.
