Have an inheritance translated by a specialist translation agency? Urgent Vertalen is the expert in translating inheritance documents with the highest possible level of quality.


When a loved one has died with assets abroad, this entails extra challenges and work. Various notarial documents need to be translated and it is often also necessary to have the documents legalized or provided with an apostille. Translating documents such as a will, a certificate of succession or a certificate of executorship for an inheritance is part of our daily work. We know all the procedures to be followed so that the translated and legalized documents can be considered official documents and are accepted by the relevant authorities. Let us take the work off your hands by having us translate your inheritance documentation. translation agency Urgent Vertalen is conveniently located in The Hague, close to all consulates, the Court and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

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.
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.
When you need to settle an estate abroad, you may not only need to have the sworn translationlegalised, but also the original document. Legalizing documents and providing sworn translations is part of our daily work. We work closely with courts, ministries and consulates, which means we are always up to date on any changes to the legalization process. Our project managers know the exact steps that need to be followed, so your documents will always be accepted. As we are located in The Hague, we can literally cycle over to handle the legalization for you. This saves time and contributes to fair pricing. We are happy to guide you through the legalization and translation process, so you won’t face any surprises later. Please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Complex documents always follow a specific structure, conveying the intent and meaning in accordance with the wishes and legal requirements of the deceased. The translation of a will, certificate of inheritance and executor’s declaration must be carried out by a sworn translator with legal expertise. It is essential that the translator has a thorough understanding of legal terminology in order to interpret the source document accurately and render it in the exact same legal language. It is equally important that our sworn legal translators stay up to date with the latest developments and amendments in the legal field. At Urgent Vertalen, you can confidently have an executor’s declaration, certificate of inheritance and will translated into Dutch, English or Spanish. We also welcome requests for translations into all other languages at our translation agency.
