Will Translation

The term "will" refers to a legal document that contains the instructions for how you want your property to be distributed after your death. Wills are often written in English, but can also be written in other languages. A will is a document that is signed and witnessed by at least two people. Wills can be drafted by lawyers or created using online tools, like LegalZoom®'s Will Maker™ (U.S.) or LawDepot's DIY Will (Canada), which allow you to complete the form without the assistance of an attorney. If you have questions about your rights as a beneficiary under the laws in Ontario, Canada, please contact specialized lawyer!

Wills & Trusts

Wills and trusts are legal documents. A will is a document that allows you to make final decisions about how your estate should be distributed after death. A trust offers another option for managing your assets during life, but it also provides instructions about what should happen to those assets when you pass away. As with many other legal documents, wills and trusts can be created by individuals or attorneys. However, in most cases an attorney is required if there are complex issues involved with the creation of a will or trust (such as the management of multiple properties).

International Will Translation

Wills translation: Wills are documents that outline the distribution of assets to beneficiaries in the event of your death. A will is usually written by an individual while they are still alive, but it can also be written by a power of attorney or other legal representative after the testator has passed away. In order to be valid and enforceable in court, wills must be translated into the language of their destination country. Trusts translation: Trusts are similar to wills in that they dictate how assets will be distributed upon death. Trusts differ in that they are typically established during lifetime with specific instructions on how assets should be disbursed (for example, when children have reached a certain age). Like a will, trusts must also undergo translation if you want them enforced internationally. Probate translation: Probate refers to the final legal process required for distributing an estate after someone's death—for example, selling property or paying off debts owed before distributing remaining assets among heirs as directed by their loved one's last will or trust document. If your estate is being probated abroad and involves foreign currency transactions such as selling land overseas or buying stocks from another country's stock exchange (which often happens), then these financial details must also be translated into English so that any foreign courts understand what’s going on with regard to your estate management needs following probate proceedings taken abroad
