Amiot had acquired a number of properties In 1649, Governor Louis d'Ailleboust granted him land in Trois-Rivières he acquired land through his marriage to Marie Miville daughter of Pierre Miville and Charlotte Maugis.[1] He built his home on a portion of land at Sillery, Quebec, while maintaining a town residence. He also acquired an estate on Pointe Villeneuve, near Saint-Augustin-de-Portneuf, Quebec, which he enlarged in 1677 and 1685.

On 3 November 1672, Jean Talon, the first Intendant of New France, granted to him a fief and seigniory in another domain at Pointe-aux-Bouleaux.[2]

In 1667 he had been granted letters of nobility, but failed to register them prior to King Louis XIV of France abolishing all titles the following year that had not yet been registered .[3]

Despite all his accomplishment and wealth in land he left his heirs more debts than one would have imagined. In 1703 the debts encumbering the estate still amounted to 700 livres, and Marie Miville, who had sold the lands for 1,500 livres, had died (September 1702), probably the victim of the distress due to a lawsuit by her son Charles, the eldest of her 15 children, had brought against her.
