What does the owner of the building in which the deceased lived as a tenant do until the heirs accept or renounce the succession?
The owner may move the furniture to a safe place while waiting for the Minister of Revenue to take possession. However, the owner is required to make a detailed inventory of the furniture in the presence of two witnesses, who must sign it. The owner submits a claim to Revenu Qubec once the file has been opened. The owner will then be paid, funds permitting, according to the rank of the owner’s claim. Storage costs are incurred at the owner’s own risk.
