Explanation:
The following is the answer I gave to this same question some time ago, and was chosen by the asker:
The Routledge financial dictionary translates "estoppel" as "impedimento legal" and "preclusión jurídica", and "estoppel certificate" as "certificado de impedimento legal". Nevertheless, I have found 65 websites in Spanish which use the term as it is, that is "estoppel". One of this pages translates/explains it as "(principio de) inadmisibilidad de las retractaciones, que impide que una parte adopte una posición que la beneficia o que perjudica a la otra parte y ulteriormente adopte la posición contraria". I personally like this last one, since I find "impedimento legal" too general, and I got no hits on "preclusión jurídica".
Hope it helps, Regards.

Gonzalo offered, in my judgment, the most succint and accurate explanation of "estoppel", which I knew, of course, that could be rendered roughly as "impedimento," which I found too general. My thanks to my learnéd colleage.
