Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) | | Dutch term or phrase: verklaring van erfrecht | | I am translating a document which in Dutch is called "verklaring van erfrecht". It is a notarial deed certifying that a certain person has died, has left a will, and, in that will, has appointed the heirs to his estate, concluding that those heirs are "bevoegd en gerechtigd tot alle daden van beheer en beschikking terzake van al hetgeen behoort tot de nalatenschap van erflater (...)". Could a native speaker tell me what such document is called in English? References suggest "attestation of admissibility to the estate" or "certificate of inheritance", but could anyone confirm whether those translations are correct? Thanks! |

| | certificate of inheritance | Explanation:
There's a number of options for this, including the two you've suggested that are quoted in Jurlex. Another option is Entitlement of Heirs.
I'd stick with certificate of inheritance as it's clear and in line with the ongoing efforts to standardize the procedure throughout the EU.

declaration of inheritance/entitlement of heirs - other option, the Netherlands/Belgium doesn't follow the same probate system as the UK, so I wouldn't try to look for equivalents where there aren't any. |
