Sworn translation of a will
Has a will been drawn up by the deceased and did the deceased reside abroad? Then the will must be translated as a sworn translation. Are you unsure whether the deceased drew up a will? You can check this in the Central Register of Wills. This Central Register of Wills allows you to verify whether a will exists, which notary handled it and the date it was drawn up. However, the content of the will is never disclosed. To request the contents, you must contact the notary or notary office that issued the will. Once you have obtained the will, the next step is to have it translated. A will must be translated by a sworn translator.

The will and the certificate of inheritance
If the deceased did not draw up a will, the law determines who the heirs are. Curious how this is legally regulated? You can find more information on the government website: https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/erven/vraag-en-antwoord/wat-is-de-wettelijke-verdeling-bij-erfrecht. If a will has been drawn up, it will always include the wishes of the deceased. However, it may not always be clear from the will who will receive the estate, for example if the intended heir has passed away. In such cases, the estate must be distributed differently from what the deceased originally intended. The certificate of inheritance therefore clearly sets out how the estate is ultimately distributed.
