Quick Answer
A $500,000 Quebec estate — consisting of a $300,000 non-registered investment portfolio and $200,000 in RRSP savings — does not deliver $500,000 to heirs. The deemed disposition on the non-registered portfolio under section 70(5) of the Income Tax Act triggers a capital gain on the $100,000 of unrealized growth, adding approximately $50,000 to the terminal T1 return. The RRSP collapses into income on the terminal return (no surviving spouse to roll over to), adding the full $200,000 as taxable income. Combined with the deceased's other income, the terminal return generates approximately $115,000–$125,000 in total federal and Quebec provincial tax. Notarial liquidation fees on a $500,000 estate typically run 1–3% ($5,000–$15,000), depending on complexity. Quebec does not charge probate fees for notarial wills — but the 'no probate' advantage does not eliminate income tax, which is where the real cost lies. After all deductions, heirs receive approximately $365,000–$380,000 from a $500,000 gross estate. If the deceased had a common-law partner (conjoint de fait), that partner has no automatic inheritance rights under Quebec's Civil Code — they receive nothing unless named in the will.
Key Takeaways
- 1Quebec notarial wills bypass probate verification, saving the $65–$217 court fee and several weeks of delay — but this does NOT eliminate the income tax obligations that consume 20–25% of most estates. The 'no probate' advantage is real but modest compared to the deemed disposition tax bill.
- 2The RRSP is the most expensive asset to pass on death without a surviving spouse. The full $200,000 is included as income on the terminal return — no partial inclusion rate, no exemptions. At Quebec's top combined federal-provincial rate of 53.31%, the tax on the RRSP alone is approximately $95,000–$106,000.
- 3Non-registered investments trigger deemed disposition under section 70(5). On a portfolio with $100,000 in unrealized gains, the first $250,000 of gains is included at 50% — producing $50,000 in taxable income. This is added to the RRSP income on the same terminal return, pushing the total tax bill higher.
- 4Quebec common-law partners (conjoints de fait) have NO automatic inheritance rights under the Civil Code of Quebec — regardless of how long they lived together. Without a will naming the partner, the estate passes entirely to the deceased's children or parents under intestacy rules.
- 5Notarial liquidation fees in Quebec typically range from 1–3% of estate value ($5,000–$15,000 on a $500,000 estate). The liquidator (Quebec's equivalent of an executor) is entitled to reasonable compensation, and professional liquidators charge hourly rates or percentage-based fees.
- 6The net amount heirs actually receive from a $500,000 Quebec estate is approximately $365,000–$380,000 — a reduction of 24–27% from the gross estate value. The largest single cost is income tax on the terminal return, not notarial or administrative fees.
- 7Quebec uses a civil law system with forced heirship provisions for married spouses through the family patrimony rules — but these do NOT apply to common-law partners. This is the single biggest gap in Quebec succession planning.
- 8Filing the terminal T1 return is due by April 30 of the year following death (or 6 months after death if the person died between November and December). The liquidator is personally liable for distributing assets before obtaining a CRA clearance certificate.
Quick Summary
This article covers 8 key points about key takeaways, providing essential insights for informed decision-making.
The Estate: $500,000 in Two Asset Classes
This worked example uses a realistic Quebec estate for a single individual. The deceased — a 72-year-old Montreal resident — is survived by two adult children and a common-law partner (conjoint de fait) of 15 years. The deceased was not married. The estate consists of a non-registered investment portfolio and an RRSP — no real estate (the home was rented).
Estate Composition
| Asset | Fair Market Value | Adjusted Cost Base | Unrealized Gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-registered investment portfolio | $300,000 | $200,000 | $100,000 |
| RRSP | $200,000 | N/A | 100% taxable |
| Total gross estate | $500,000 | — | — |
The deceased had a notarial will (testament notarié) leaving everything to the two adult children equally. The common-law partner was not named in the will — a critical oversight that we will examine in detail below.
The "No Probate" Myth: What Quebec Actually Saves You
Quebec's notarial will system is genuinely advantageous — a notarial will does not require court verification (probate) after death. The notary who prepared the will has already verified the testator's identity and capacity, and the original is registered with the Chambre des notaires. The liquidator (Quebec's term for an executor) can begin administering the estate immediately.
But here is what the "no probate" advantage actually saves on this $500,000 estate:
Quebec Probate Savings: Notarial vs. Holograph Will
| Cost Category | Notarial Will | Holograph Will (Requires Verification) |
|---|---|---|
| Court verification fee | $0 | $65–$217 |
| Legal fees for verification petition | $0 | $1,000–$2,500 |
| Timeline delay | None | 4–12 weeks |
| Total probate-related savings | $1,000–$2,700 saved | — |
The probate savings from a notarial will are $1,000–$2,700 — meaningful, but less than 1% of the $500,000 estate. Compare this to the ~$94,000 income tax bill on the terminal return.
The Real Cost Is Income Tax, Not Probate
Quebec heirs who hear "no probate fees" often assume the estate passes tax-free. It does not. The deemed disposition on death and RRSP collapse are federal Income Tax Act rules that apply in every province. On this $500,000 estate, the terminal return tax bill is approximately $94,000 — nearly 19% of the gross estate. The probate savings from using a notarial will ($1,000–$2,700) are a rounding error compared to this tax obligation.
Deemed Disposition: The $100,000 Capital Gain on Non-Registered Investments
Under section 70(5) of the Income Tax Act, the deceased is treated as having sold all capital property at fair market value immediately before death. The non-registered investment portfolio — purchased for $200,000, now worth $300,000 — triggers a $100,000 capital gain.
Non-Registered Portfolio: Deemed Disposition Calculation
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Portfolio FMV at death | $300,000 |
| Adjusted cost base | $200,000 |
| Capital gain | $100,000 |
| Included at 50% (under $250,000 threshold) | $50,000 taxable |
| Taxable capital gains added to terminal return | $50,000 |
Under the 2026 capital gains inclusion rules, the first $250,000 of capital gains for individuals is included at 50%. This $100,000 gain falls entirely within that threshold.
The RRSP Collapse: $200,000 Added to Income
The RRSP is the most tax-expensive asset in this estate. When the account holder dies with no surviving spouse (or common-law partner eligible for the spousal rollover), the full fair market value of the RRSP is included as income on the terminal return. There is no partial inclusion rate — 100% of the $200,000 is taxable.
Why the RRSP Is the Estate's Largest Tax Cost
The $200,000 RRSP adds $200,000 of fully taxable income to the terminal return — on top of the $50,000 in taxable capital gains and $15,000 in pension income. The combined $265,000 in taxable income pushes the estate into Quebec's highest combined federal-provincial bracket of 53.31%. The marginal tax on the RRSP is dramatically higher than the effective rate on the capital gains because the RRSP income sits on top of all other income sources.
A critical nuance: common-law partners who meet the federal definition (12+ months of cohabitation) CAN receive a spousal RRSP rollover under the federal Income Tax Act — even though Quebec's Civil Code does not recognize them as spouses. If this deceased had named the common-law partner as RRSP beneficiary, the $200,000 could have rolled tax-free into the partner's own RRSP. This single step would have saved approximately $95,000–$106,000 in immediate tax.
The Terminal Return: Total Tax on $265,000 of Income
The liquidator must file both a federal T1 and a Quebec TP-1 for the deceased's terminal year. All income sources are combined on a single return.
Terminal Return Calculation
| Income Source | Gross Amount | Taxable Amount |
|---|---|---|
| CPP + OAS + pension (partial year) | $15,000 | $15,000 |
| Non-registered deemed disposition ($100K gain) | $100,000 gain | $50,000 |
| RRSP collapse | $200,000 | $200,000 |
| Total taxable income | — | $265,000 |
Estimated Tax Breakdown
| Tax Component | Estimated Amount |
|---|---|
| Federal income tax | ~$52,000 |
| Quebec provincial income tax | ~$42,000 |
| Total tax on terminal return | ~$94,000 |
The effective tax rate on the $265,000 of terminal-year income is approximately 35.5%. The marginal rate on the last dollar of RRSP income is 53.31%.
Notarial Liquidation Fees: The 1–3% Administrative Cost
The liquidator of a Quebec estate is responsible for inventorying all assets, paying debts and taxes, filing the terminal return, obtaining a CRA clearance certificate, and distributing the remaining assets to heirs. This work takes time — typically 6 to 18 months for a straightforward estate.
Estimated Administrative Costs on a $500K Estate
| Cost Item | Low Estimate | High Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Notarial liquidation fees | $5,000 | $15,000 |
| Accounting (terminal return + clearance certificate) | $2,000 | $4,000 |
| Miscellaneous (transfers, certificates, bank fees) | $1,000 | $3,000 |
| Total administrative costs | $8,000 | $22,000 |
A family member serving as liquidator may waive compensation, reducing the total. A professional liquidator (notary or trust company) typically charges 2–3% of estate value.
If a family member serves as liquidator and handles the administration without professional fees, the administrative costs drop to the accounting and miscellaneous items — roughly $3,000–$7,000. This is a meaningful saving, but the liquidator takes on significant responsibility: personal liability for tax debts if they distribute assets before receiving the CRA clearance certificate.
The Common-Law Spouse Gap: Quebec's Biggest Estate Planning Trap
In this scenario, the deceased lived with a common-law partner for 15 years. Under Quebec's Civil Code, common-law partners (conjoints de fait) have no automatic inheritance rights. None. Regardless of the length of the relationship, whether they raised children together, or whether they were financially intertwined.
Quebec Is Unique in Canada on This Point
In Ontario, British Columbia, and most other provinces, common-law partners gain inheritance rights after 1–3 years of cohabitation. In Quebec, a common-law partner of 30 years has the same inheritance rights as a complete stranger: zero. The ONLY way a Quebec common-law partner inherits is if they are (1) named in the will, (2) named as a beneficiary on registered accounts (RRSP, TFSA), or (3) named as a beneficiary on life insurance. Quebec's family patrimony rules — which provide forced sharing of certain assets between spouses — do not apply to common-law couples.
In this worked example, the common-law partner was not named in the will and was not named as a beneficiary on the RRSP. The partner receives nothing from the estate. The entire $500,000 (less taxes and fees) goes to the two adult children. Had the partner been named as RRSP beneficiary, two things change: the partner receives $200,000 directly, and the estate saves approximately $95,000–$106,000 in tax through the spousal rollover — benefiting everyone.
The Dollar Breakdown: $500,000 Gross → Net to Heirs
Pulling all costs together, here is what the two adult children actually receive from this $500,000 Quebec estate.
Estate Waterfall: Gross to Net
| Item | Amount | Running Total |
|---|---|---|
| Gross estate value | — | $500,000 |
| Less: Federal income tax on terminal return | ($52,000) | $448,000 |
| Less: Quebec provincial tax on terminal return | ($42,000) | $406,000 |
| Less: Notarial liquidation fees (mid-range estimate) | ($10,000) | $396,000 |
| Less: Accounting and miscellaneous costs | ($5,000) | $391,000 |
| Less: Court verification fees (notarial will) | $0 | $391,000 |
| Net to heirs | — | ~$391,000 |
| Per child (÷2) | — | ~$195,500 |
The heirs receive 78.2% of the gross estate value. The largest deduction is income tax ($94,000 / 18.8%), followed by administrative costs ($15,000 / 3.0%). The "no probate" savings amount to $0 — because the notarial will avoids court fees entirely.
What If the Common-Law Partner Had Been Named as RRSP Beneficiary?
The single most impactful change to this estate plan would have been naming the common-law partner as RRSP beneficiary. Because the partner meets the federal definition of common-law partner (12+ months of cohabitation), the $200,000 RRSP would roll directly into the partner's own RRSP — tax-free, outside the estate.
Scenario Comparison: RRSP to Estate vs. RRSP to Partner
| Factor | RRSP Collapses Into Estate | RRSP Rolls to Partner |
|---|---|---|
| RRSP income on terminal return | $200,000 | $0 |
| Total taxable income on terminal return | $265,000 | $65,000 |
| Total tax on terminal return | ~$94,000 | ~$10,000 |
| Partner receives | $0 | $200,000 (in RRSP) |
| Children receive (from estate) | ~$391,000 | ~$275,000 |
| Total distributed to all beneficiaries | ~$391,000 | ~$475,000 |
| Tax saved | — | ~$84,000 |
The spousal RRSP rollover saves approximately $84,000 in immediate tax. The total distributed to all beneficiaries increases from $391,000 to $475,000 — an extra $84,000 that would have otherwise gone to CRA and Revenu Québec.
The children receive less under this scenario ($275,000 vs. $391,000) because the RRSP proceeds go to the partner instead of the estate. But the family as a whole keeps $84,000 more. This is the fundamental trade-off in Quebec estate planning: structuring beneficiary designations to minimize tax, even when it changes who receives which assets.
Quebec Succession Rules: Who Inherits Under Intestacy
If the deceased had died without a will, Quebec's Civil Code intestacy rules would apply. Under these rules, the estate is distributed based on which family members survive the deceased:
With a Surviving Married Spouse and Children
The married spouse receives one-third of the estate. The children share the remaining two-thirds equally. On a $500,000 estate: spouse receives ~$167,000 and each of two children receives ~$167,000 (before taxes and fees).
With Children but No Married Spouse
The children inherit the entire estate equally. On a $500,000 estate with two children: each receives ~$195,500 after taxes and fees. This is our worked example — the common-law partner receives nothing.
With a Common-Law Partner and Children
Identical to having children with no spouse. The common-law partner is not recognized under Quebec intestacy rules. The children inherit everything. The partner — even after 15, 20, or 30 years of cohabitation — receives nothing.
No Spouse and No Children
The estate passes to parents (if alive), then siblings, then more distant relatives. The common-law partner still receives nothing under intestacy — the estate goes to blood relatives before it would ever reach a conjoint de fait.
The Liquidator's Timeline and Personal Liability
The liquidator (executor) of a Quebec estate faces a strict sequence of obligations. Skipping steps or distributing assets prematurely creates personal financial liability.
The CRA Clearance Certificate: Do Not Distribute Without It
The liquidator must file the terminal T1 and Quebec TP-1 returns, pay all outstanding taxes, and then apply for a clearance certificate from CRA (form TX19) and Revenu Québec. This certificate confirms that all tax obligations have been satisfied. If the liquidator distributes assets to heirs before receiving the clearance certificate and the CRA later assesses additional tax, the liquidator is personally liable for the unpaid amount — even if the heirs have already spent the money. The clearance certificate typically takes 3–6 months to obtain after the terminal return is filed.
The Bottom Line
A $500,000 Quebec estate delivers approximately $391,000 to heirs — a 21.8% reduction from the gross value. The largest cost is income tax on the terminal return (~$94,000), driven primarily by the RRSP collapse ($200,000 of fully taxable income) and the deemed disposition on non-registered investments ($50,000 in taxable capital gains). Notarial liquidation fees add another $10,000–$15,000.
Quebec's notarial will system saves $1,000–$2,700 compared to a holograph will that requires court verification — a genuine but modest advantage. The "no probate" narrative oversells this benefit by conflating probate fees (minimal in Quebec regardless of will type) with the federal income tax obligations that apply in every province.
The most expensive mistake in this scenario is not the choice of will type — it is the failure to name the common-law partner as RRSP beneficiary. That single omission costs the family $84,000 in unnecessary tax and leaves the partner of 15 years with nothing. For Quebec common-law couples, a notarial will and proper beneficiary designations are not optional — they are the only protection that exists.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:Does Quebec have an inheritance tax or succession duty?
A:Quebec abolished its provincial succession duty in 1986. There is no separate inheritance or estate tax in Quebec in 2026. However, the federal Income Tax Act applies a deemed disposition at death under section 70(5), which treats the deceased as having sold all capital property at fair market value immediately before death. This creates a capital gains tax obligation on the terminal T1 return. Additionally, registered accounts (RRSPs, RRIFs) that do not roll over to a surviving spouse are fully included as income on the terminal return. These federal income tax rules — not a provincial estate or inheritance tax — are what reduce a Quebec estate's value. The combined federal and Quebec provincial marginal tax rate on high income is 53.31%, making the terminal return the largest cost for most estates.
Q:How does a notarial will avoid probate in Quebec?
A:A notarial will (testament notarié) is prepared by a Quebec notary and signed in the presence of one witness (or a second notary). The original is retained by the notary and registered with the Chambre des notaires. Because the notary has already verified the testator's identity, capacity, and the will's legal validity, no court verification (probate) is required after death. A holograph will (handwritten by the testator) or a will made in the presence of witnesses does require court verification — a process that costs $65–$217 in court fees and takes several weeks to months. The notarial will advantage is speed and certainty of acceptance, not tax savings. The income tax obligations on the terminal return are identical regardless of which type of will was used.
Q:What happens to a common-law partner in Quebec when there is no will?
A:Under Quebec's Civil Code, common-law partners (conjoints de fait) have no legal inheritance rights under intestacy. If a Quebec resident dies without a will, the estate is distributed according to the Civil Code's intestacy rules: first to the surviving married spouse and descendants, then to parents and siblings, then to other relatives. A common-law partner — even one who lived with the deceased for 20+ years and raised children together — receives nothing under intestacy. Quebec is unique in Canada in this regard: most other provinces grant common-law partners inheritance rights after 1–3 years of cohabitation. In Quebec, the ONLY way a common-law partner inherits is if they are explicitly named as a beneficiary in a valid will or as the designated beneficiary on registered accounts (RRSP, TFSA) and life insurance policies.
Q:How much do notarial liquidation fees cost on a $500,000 Quebec estate?
A:Notarial liquidation fees on a $500,000 Quebec estate typically range from $5,000 to $15,000 (1–3% of estate value), depending on the estate's complexity. A straightforward estate with a single beneficiary, no real property, and no disputes may cost $5,000–$7,000 in professional fees. A more complex estate involving real estate transfers, multiple beneficiaries, disputes, or cross-border assets can run $10,000–$15,000 or more. These fees cover the liquidator's work: inventorying assets, paying debts, filing the terminal tax return, obtaining a CRA clearance certificate, and distributing assets to heirs. If a family member serves as liquidator, they are entitled to reasonable compensation but may choose not to charge. Professional liquidators (notaries, accountants, trust companies) charge either hourly rates ($200–$400/hour) or a percentage of estate value.
Q:How is an RRSP taxed when the account holder dies in Quebec with no spouse?
A:When an RRSP holder dies in Quebec with no surviving spouse or common-law partner eligible for a spousal rollover, the full fair market value of the RRSP is included as income on the deceased's terminal T1 return. A $200,000 RRSP adds $200,000 to the terminal return's taxable income. At Quebec's top combined federal-provincial rate of 53.31%, the tax on this RRSP income is approximately $95,000–$106,000 — depending on the deceased's other income and available credits. If the RRSP has a named beneficiary, the proceeds are paid directly to that beneficiary (bypassing the estate and any liquidation process), but the TAX is still owed by the estate on the terminal return. This creates a common problem: the beneficiary receives the cash, but the estate must pay the tax — potentially shortchanging other heirs.
Q:What is the deadline for filing a terminal T1 return in Quebec?
A:The terminal T1 return for a deceased Quebec resident is due by the later of: (1) April 30 of the year following the year of death, or (2) 6 months after the date of death. For example, if the deceased died on March 15, 2026, the terminal return is due by April 30, 2027. If they died on November 20, 2026, the deadline is May 20, 2027 (6 months after death). In addition to the federal T1, the liquidator must file a Quebec provincial TP-1 return for the same period. The liquidator should also apply for a CRA clearance certificate (using form TX19) before distributing assets — this confirms all taxes have been paid. Distributing the estate before receiving the clearance certificate makes the liquidator personally liable for any unpaid tax.
Question: Does Quebec have an inheritance tax or succession duty?

Question: How is an RRSP taxed when the account holder dies in Quebec with no spouse?
Answer: When an RRSP holder dies in Quebec with no surviving spouse or common-law partner eligible for a spousal rollover, the full fair market value of the RRSP is included as income on the deceased's terminal T1 return. A $200,000 RRSP adds $200,000 to the terminal return's taxable income. At Quebec's top combined federal-provincial rate of 53.31%, the tax on this RRSP income is approximately $95,000–$106,000 — depending on the deceased's other income and available credits. If the RRSP has a named beneficiary, the proceeds are paid directly to that beneficiary (bypassing the estate and any liquidation process), but the TAX is still owed by the estate on the terminal return.
