Certified Translation for Inheritance Abroad — London Service
Dealing with an inheritance in another country while based in London is complicated enough without language barriers. TJURADO provides certified translations of all documents required to claim, administer, or renounce an inheritance abroad — handled with sensitivity and complete accuracy.
The Challenge of International Inheritance
When a loved one passes away in another country, London-based beneficiaries often face a complex web of legal and administrative requirements. Probate must be obtained in the country of the deceased’s domicile, assets must be identified and valued, and beneficiaries must establish their entitlement — all of which generates substantial documentation in the local language. TJURADO helps London residents navigate this process by providing accurate certified translations of every document needed.

Countries We Commonly Handle
London’s diverse population means we regularly handle inheritance documents from a wide range of countries. Our most frequently requested include Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Italy, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ghana, Poland, Romania, China, and countries across the Middle East. Each country has its own probate and inheritance system, and our translators are familiar with the legal terminology and document formats specific to each jurisdiction.
Working with UK Probate Solicitors
Many London solicitors specialise in international estate administration and cross-border inheritance. TJURADO works closely with these firms to provide the certified translations they need to progress their clients’ cases. We offer priority turnaround for solicitor referrals and can work to the specific formatting requirements of individual firms when needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a foreign will need to be certified translated to be valid in the UK?
Yes. A foreign-language will must be accompanied by a certified translation before UK courts and the Probate Registry will consider its contents. TJURADO provides certified will translations accepted by the UK Probate Registry.
Can you certify translations of handwritten wills?
Yes. Handwritten documents require particular care, and our translators are experienced with handwritten wills and personal documents. Where handwriting is unclear, we note this explicitly in the translation.
