Je désigne comme liquidateur de ma succession ma fille Vicky PELLETIER, domiciliée à Saint-Hubert (Québec).
En cas de décès, de refus, de démission ou d'incapacité légale d'agir de mon liquidateur, je lui substitue mon autre fille Christiane PELLETIER, domiciliée à Montmagny (Québec).
S'il est impossible de pourvoir au remplacement de mon liquidateur de la façon ci-dessus prévue, mes héritiers le feront à la majorité par acte notarié en minute.
À défaut par mes héritiers de pourvoir au remplacement de mon liquidateur, le tribunal pourra nommer un remplaçant, sur demande de tout intéressé.

Experience
Years of experience: 21. Registered at ProZ.com: Oct 2015.
I have been working in French to English translations for over 10 years but not full time. For the last seven years, I have been a freelance translator specializing in legal translations, specifically in the area of Probate. My area of expertise extends to documents related to probate, namely wills, will verifications, funeral home certificates, death certificates, powers of attorney, divorces and powers of attorney in case of incapacity.
I had an opportunity to work on a large Pharmaceutical project which opened up my vocabulary in a whole new area. Now, I am entering the world of insurance and medical to add to my skill set.
When I lived in South Florida, I realized that the location, itself, provides a wide array of cultural diversity and many French Canadian snowbirds purchase homes in which to spend the winter. As the French and Haitian culture is well-represented, I have been lucky to have cut my teeth in the translation world in south Florida.
I love what I do and do and try my best to provide the best translation possible.
