German term or phrase: Mitwirkungsverbot
Not much context I'm afraid. This is a "Belehrung" by a notary about the "gesetzlich bestehenden Mitwirkungsverbote (§ 3 Beurkundungsgesetz)". The document is a will.

conflict of interest prohibition
Explanation:
It's hard to give an exact translation without seeing the full sentence, but if you want it to be idiomatic in English, consider working with the phrase "conflict of interest."

prohibition on acting (in matters)


Explanation:
I think this might be the rule under Section 3 of the Beurkundungsgesetz where the notary is forbidden from acting in matters if he has acted for the person in some unofficial capacity before.
