Translation cost of an inheritance document varies based on the type of document, language combination, certifications needed and urgency. These documents being legal means that the cost is normally more than when one is translating regular documents, as accuracy, formatting, and certification are required.
Certified document translation cost

Notarised document translation cost
The cost of translating the notarised inheritances is slightly higher since it is required to be legalised. On average, the cost of a translation with a notary service varies between 30 and 75 pounds on a per-page basis and in addition, it takes an additional 10-30 pounds on a per-document basis, depending on the service provider and jurisdiction.

- Reference to pages in the inheritance file.
- Challenges in the terminology of the law.
- Status of language pairs (common vs. rare languages)

Legal terminology in inheritance translation is ensured through a systematic process that maintains accuracy, consistency, and legal validity of all legal documents, such as wills, probate records, inventory of estates and financial statements.
Best practices in regard of the accuracy of legal terminology:
- Use of specialist legal translators: Legal translators working in the field of inheritance deal with documents relating to inheritance and are trained in the legal systems and complicated legal and financial language used in the estate law, probate and wills.
- Use of standardised legal glossaries: To ensure that the identical legal terminology is translated to an appropriate term within each of the documents, the uniform databases of legal terminology and the bilingual glossaries are implemented.
- Context-driven translation approach: Legal languages are translated within the same context, rather than in a word-to-word manner, so that the translation of a legal term in the target language makes legal sense.
- Multi-stage review process: Every translation has a series of procedures for checking its work, including linguistic review, legal accuracy review, and elimination of inaccuracies or inconsistencies.
- Comparison to the original texts of law: Translators closely compare the translated version with the original document, ensuring that no information is omitted or misinterpreted.
- Compliance with jurisdictional requirements: The translation of documents is drafted to correspond to the laws of the country to ensure that the documents can be used in the courts, banks, and the government.
These guidelines assist in ensuring that the translations of the inheritance are accurate, binding and are suitable for official and cross-border uses.

Yes, inheritance document translation includes proofreading and editing services. Each document is carefully edited to retain original formatting and eliminate grammatical or translation errors.
What happens if my inheritance documents translation is rejected by the authorities?
The translation may be denied by a supervisory authority when the translation of the documents concerning inheritance does not meet legal requirements for acceptance. This is usually induced by the lack of certification, incorrect formatting, translation errors or lack of information. In other instances, the authorities can also reject the documents that are not translated by qualified professionals or lack certification to operate within the jurisdiction.
The reasons are normally rejected on the grounds of:
- Lack of, or falsity of, certified translation statement.
- Wrong or irregular legal jargon.
- Decreased format that is not similar to the original copy.
- Missing pages, seals, or translation elements.
- Non-professional translation/machine translation.

Upon identification, a licensed professional translator should check, revise and re-print the translation. Notarisation or other certification can be introduced, if needed, to comply with legal requirements. The amended document is lastly resubmitted to the concerned authority so that it can be approved.
Can machine translation be used for legal documents?
The answer to this question is that no machine translation should be used to translate legal text because of the very high accuracy, the context sensitivity and the legal soundness required in inheritance and court-related documents.
Can machine translation replace human translation?
No, machine translation will not be able to replace a human translation, especially of important legal and heritage documents, as a human translator is the only person who can ensure that the law is interpreted correctly and a certified translation is carried out. Espresso Translations clearly differentiate Human Translation vs Machine translations through their expertise.
