If you need to have your last will & testament translated, often you will ask many questions: who is authorised to issue a certified translation? What exactly is a certified translation? Can anybody translate my French will & testament? Is it safe to send my inheritance documents to a translator? Do I need to send the original will & testament by post? How much does it cost to translate a last will & testament? 

Each of these questions is valid and has a simple answer. So let's take a look at them all one by one to help you navigate the process. 

What is a certified translation and who can do certified translations of last will & testaments?

The wording used can be quite daunting if you are not familiar with the translation sector. However, simply put, a certified translation is the equivalent of peace of mind that the translator is qualified and authorised to issue a translation which is recognised and accepted by the official authorities. As a qualified translator, full member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists and Chartered Translator, here at French Medical Translators, I offer certified translations of French inheritance documents, death certificates and last will & testaments. This means the translation is guaranteed to be accepted by the official authorities in the UK. 

Is it safe to send my last will & testament to a translator?

In order to complete your certified translation of a last will & testament it is not actually necessary to have a copy of the original document. I am able to translate your document on the basis of a clear and legible scanned copy and/or photograph. As long as all details on the last will & testament are clear and visible and there is no doubt as to the validity of the document, I can produce the translation on this basis. Meaning a much quicker turnaround of your translation - since there is no need to post out your document. This also helps to keep costs down. 

I also respect all standards of data protection and your last will & testament certificate will never be sent out to any third-parties. I produce all translations myself, and no documents are uploaded to internet translation tools. 

How much does it cost to translate a last will & testament?

The cost of translating a French last will & testament will vary depending on the number of words and the format of your document. Often a handwritten will is quite difficult to decipher which can add to the time and effort required in translation. The format and number of words to translate will vary largely between all wills & testaments. However, within 1 hour following your quote request, I will take a look at your document and tell you (i) how long it will take to translate, and (ii) the total cost.

THEY USED OUR CERTIFIED FRENCH TRANSLATION SERVICES AND THIS IS WHAY THEY HAVE TO SAY...

We don't want you to take our word for it that our French to English translations are the best in the business. Read a selection of testimonials and reviews by some past clients.

One of, if not the, best interpreters I’ve worked with in well over a decade at a Premier League Football Club. His French translation is almost word-perfect in real time, while he’s able to build close but professional relationships with international players and clients alike, enabling him to help with not only legal and personal matters but also media interviews and tactical instructions. I can’t recommend highly enough and hope to get the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

Dan

Very diligent in his work and his translations have always been of an excellent quality. I would recommend him to anyone requiring such services.

Chris

Not only an excellent translator, but above all he is very professional. Punctual, precise, friendly.
Able to manage texts of laws, economy, health. Excellent in live translation.
I recommend it 100%
