German term
Verhaeltnisse (in this context)
Non-PRO
German to English
Law/Patents
from a Swiss will:
"Ich habe frueher in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika ein Testament, errichtet, welches sich auf meine damaligen Verhaeltnisse und Wohnsituation bezog. Inzwischen habe ich mein Domizil nach Zuerich verlegt, sodass dieses heutige Testament die neuen Verhaeltnisse beruecksichtigt."
Alles klar. The only question I have here with Verhaeltnisse (mentioned twice) is whether this is best translated as specifically "financial circumstances" or "circumstances" in a more general sense?
Danke.

Circumstances
I'd let it more general. In the text it is not clear enough if is financial or not (or just financial).

personal circumstances
In the light of those two instances, he/she seems to hint at his/her personal circumstances in general. Maybe you can read on and find a reason to believe that "economic status" or, as you put it, "financial circumstances" are meant with "Verhältnisse".
