What is a certificate of inheritance?
A certificate of inheritance is a document drawn up by the notary. It states who has died, who the heirs are and who may settle the estate. Banks, insurers and foreign authorities often ask for this document to establish who is authorised to act on behalf of the heirs.
Why a sworn translation is needed
For use with a foreign bank, notary or government authority, an ordinary translation is usually not enough. A sworn translation is produced by a translator registered in the Dutch Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv). The translator provides the translation with a stamp, signature and statementwhich makes the document legally valid. If you want to use the translation abroad, an apostille or legalisation is usually required. A apostille is issued by the court under the Apostille Convention (the Hague Convention of 1961).
