• (a) the trustee or executor did not acquire control of the corporations as a result of one or more trusts or estates created by the same individual or by two or more individuals not dealing with each other at arm's length, and
• (b) the trust or estate under which the trustee or executor acquired control of each of the corporations arose only on the death of the individual creating the trust or estate, the two corporations shall be deemed not to be related to each other at that particular time.

The terms "testamentary executor"/exécuteur testamentaire are no longer used in the Civil Code of Québec . This institution was replaced with the concept of "liquidator of a succession"/liquidateur de succession.

To reflect the new civil law notion, "liquidator of a succession" is added to the English version and liquidateur de succession is added to the French version. The terms "executor"/exécuteur testamentaire are maintained for common law purposes.
