The registry of consents to organ and tissue donation
Making a will is an excellent occasion to reflect on organ and tissue donation. After receiving all the necessary information and discussing the question with your notary, you can make your decision known, whether it is to consent to or refuse donation. Your wishes can then be recorded in your will.
Consent to organ and tissue donation is entered in the Registry of Consents to Organ and Tissue Donation of the Chambre des notaires du Québec. This registry allows authorized health professionals to quickly and confidentially check the wishes a person has expressed regarding organ and tissue donation. It is a simple and effective way to make one’s decision known and to help ensure that one’s wishes are respected when the time comes.
The protection mandate is a planning tool that lets you make your wishes known and choose, in advance, the person who will be able to act for you in the event of incapacity. Planning today means giving yourself the peace of mind of knowing that your choices will be known and your interests protected in the event of incapacity.
