521.16. From the date of their execution before a notary and without further formality, the joint declaration dissolving the civil union and the transaction contract have the effects of a judgment dissolving a civil union.
In addition to being notified to the registrar of civil status, the notarial declaration must be sent to the depositary of the original civil union contract and to the depositary of any contract modifying the civil union regime. The depositary is bound to make a reference to the joint declaration of dissolution on the contract and on any copy issued, specifying the date of the declaration, the minute number and the name and address of the notary who executed the declaration. Such a notation of the reference may be made on the contract or, if applicable, on a copy of it or on a writing attached to the contract or copy, directly or by a reference. The notarial declaration and transaction must also be sent to Retraite Québec.
A notice of the notarial declaration must be entered in the register of personal and movable real rights on the application of the officiating notary.
