Have your will translated
Having a will easily translated into Dutch or any other foreign language with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.






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.

Your translation in three simple steps
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.
