Prepare your documents with confidence

An heirship affidavit and a court appointment are different evidence. Ask the estate professional which record the receiving office accepts and who must make the statement.

An inheritance file usually needs a clear chain connecting the deceased person, the applicant and the authority handling the estate. A death certificate alone may not establish who can act for the estate. Obtain the receiving lawyer, court or bank’s checklist before ordering records, and keep authentication separate from advice about ownership, entitlement or distribution.

Check that all pages, certification sheets and attachments are present. Keep the recipient’s written instructions and confirm where completed documents should be delivered. Timing is confirmed after document review and depends on preparation, the competent authority, translation and delivery.

Tell us the document, its issuer, destination country and intended use, and your deadline. We will review preparation, translation and delivery options before confirming an estimate and timing. Ask for instructions before mailing originals. Please mail with a tracking number.

Check whether a court-certified appointment, heirship evidence, will or authority to act is requested, rather than assuming the same list applies to every estate.

Compare names, prior surnames and dates across civil records; ask the recipient how to document discrepancies.

Confirm whether the recipient needs complete certified orders and attachments or selected records, and in what translation format.

Does apostilling estate paperwork prove I am entitled to an inheritance?

No. The receiving court, bank or estate professional evaluates entitlement and authority to act. Authentication helps establish the origin of the submitted document.

What should I confirm before requesting an estimate?

Provide the document, issuer, destination, intended use, number of copies and deadline. Include the recipient’s checklist if available. This allows preparation, certification, translation and delivery to be reviewed before a cost estimate is confirmed.
