Why should I have my will translated?

It is essential to have your will translated if you have assets abroad or if your heirs do not speak the same language. A correct translation ensures that your wishes are clear and legally binding worldwide.

How long does it take to have a will translated?

The duration of the translation of a will depends on the length and complexity of the document. On average, the translation process takes between 1 and 3 business days. For urgent assignments, we are often able to deliver faster.

Is my will still legally valid after translation?

Yes, a will remains legally valid after its translation, provided it is translated correctly and by a qualified translator. It is important that the translation is legally correct to ensure that your wishes are respected.

Which languages can you translate my will into?

Our translation agency offers will translations in over 50 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese and many others. Contact us for a complete overview of the available languages.

Do I have to pay extra for a sworn translation of my will?

A sworn translation may incur additional costs as it must be carried out by a sworn translator and often requires an official stamp and signature. We also offer sworn translations and can provide you with more information about this.

How confidential is the translation process for my will?

We attach great importance to the confidentiality and security of your documents. All our translators sign a confidentiality agreement, and we use secure systems to handle and store your documents.

Have your will translated by a certified translation agency

A will is primarily drawn up to ensure matters are settled properly and in line with the wishes of the deceased. Without specialist knowledge, deciphering a will is already quite a task – let alone when it is written in a foreign language. Our specialists carefully translate your official documents into Dutch, or into any other language, to respectfully honour the last wishes of the individual. Whether it concerns a residence or various foreign assets, whatever the reason behind the will in another language, it often involves differing legal systems. Our sworn translators therefore not only have a talent for language, but also possess all the necessary knowledge of relevant legislation. As a result, the translation is immediately sworn and suitable for legalization.

Have your will sworn translated

If your will requires a sworn translation, we will prepare a non-binding quote based on the time needed by the translator to translate your will. As wills are often unique and not standardised, we believe it is only fair that you pay for the actual length of your specific will and not based on an “average length”. You wouldn’t want to pay more than necessary, would you? Then have your will translated today by the translation agency in The Hague.

Your will translation properly arranged

Translating a will is a specialist task that requires care and precision. For those who wish to have their will registered abroad, or for handling inheritances across multiple jurisdictions, it is essential to engage a professional translation agency. A will contains important legal terms and specific details that must be accurately reproduced in the translation to avoid legal confusion or issues.

A specialised translation agency employs translators with a legal background, who not only have the language skills but also understand relevant legislation and legal terminology. This ensures that the translation of your will is accurate and legally valid, which is crucial for preserving the legality of your testamentary wishes.

When choosing a translation agency for your will, it is important to check for certifications and experience in legal translations. A certified translation ensures the document meets the requirements of official authorities, both nationally and internationally. This is especially important in the case of cross-border inheritances, where the accuracy of the translation can directly impact the settlement of the estate.
