Re: renouncing a succession from an estatesaid by telco_mtl:As well due to the civil code we are the only provice not recognizing common law marriages. I refuse to beat my head against the wall further on this particular topic, other then the say that there is NO SUCH THING as common-law Marriage anywhere in Canada...

You are either married, or you are not. Exactly. The term "common law marriage" is a non sequitur. |

You are either married, or you are not. "Common-law Marriage" doesn't exist. "Living Common-Law" does, though. Most people mean later when they use the former phrase. |

Most people mean later when they use the former phrase. True, but it still does not carry the rights and responsibilities that many think it does... Anyways - way O/T - it's just a pet peeve of mine... (one of many, but that's always way O/T... ) |

You are either married, or you are not. the supreme court last week upheld the fact that living together under the quebec civil code does not offer any rights or responsabilites no matter how many kids or years the couple was together. |

The topic is succession from an estate not how common law marriages are treated in Quebec. If you all want to discuss that then please start a new thread. This side discussion is not helping the OP. |
