Foreign Non-Profit Legal Person and Syndicate of Co-Owners – Fees
A foreign non-profit legal person is a group of persons constituted under the laws of a jurisdiction other than Québec that engages in non-profit activities that are cultural, social, philanthropic, national, patriotic, religious, charitable, scientific, artistic, professional, athletic, sporting, educational or other in nature, with no intention of generating profits for its members.
A syndicate of co-owners is a legal person comprising the co-owners of property in divided co-ownership. Constituted upon publication of the declaration of co-ownership in the land register, it is governed by the Civil code of Québec. The syndicate of co-owners preserves the immovable, maintains and manages the common portions, protects the rights of the immovable or the co-ownership, and takes care of business in the common interest.
