Professional Translation for International Wills
In the UAE, any legal document issued in a foreign language must undergo a certified legal translation into Arabic to be admissible in court or before government bodies. This is particularly critical for foreign wills, where precision is paramount to ensuring the deceased's wishes are honored.
Key Legal Translation Process
- Review of the original will and its apostille/legalization status.
- Translation by Ministry of Justice (MOJ) sworn translators.
- Verification of legal terminology to align with UAE Sharia and Civil Law principles.
- Attestation support for use in Dubai Courts or ADJD.
