Protect your occupation of your home if you separate from your partner by registering a Declaration of Family Residence.

• If you are married or in a civil union and you have registered a Declaration of Family Residence, your occupation of your home is protected if you separate. Your former spouse will not be able to sell, lease or mortgage your home.
• The same rule applies if you rent your home and have added a statement to your lease declaring that it is your family residence. In this case, your former spouse will not be able to transfer the lease without your written consent.
• The family residence forms part of the family patrimony of a couple who are married or in a civil union, regardless of which spouse actually owns it.
• The form is a free Microsoft Word download. English language version.
• Intended to be used only in the Province of Quebec, Canada.

• Mortgage Condition. The buyer's offer is conditional upon the buyer being able to obtain a new mortgage.
• Other Offers. The seller is still at liberty to offer the property for sale, but if the seller receives an acceptable offer from another party, it must notify the buyer, who will then have a period of time to either cancel its condition on the purchase, or cancel its offer. If the offer is cancelled, the buyer's deposit will be returned and neither party will take any further action.
• Building Inspection. The offer is also conditional upon the buyer obtaining a satisfactory building inspection.
• Encumbrances. The seller must provide good title to the property, and must warrant to the buyer for any violations that encumber the property.
