46. In succession matters, the court having jurisdiction is the court of the place where the succession opened.
However, if the succession did not open in Québec, an application may be brought, at the plaintiff’s option, before the court of the place where the property is situated, the court of the place where the death occurred or the court of the domicile of the defendant or one of the defendants.
The court of the domicile of the liquidator of the succession is also competent in respect of any application pertaining to the appointment of the liquidator or the exercise of the liquidator’s functions.
