[WSBAPT] Translation Services

[Andrekita Silva]

  Brent,

Below are three Spanish language translators that provide written  
translations that you can check with.  If none of those are  
available, you could get a list from Martha Cohen at Interpreter  
Services as Tara suggested. 

As a warning, that’s an arduous process as many interpreters don’t do  
written translation, only oral / spoken.  It can also depend on  
their schedule and the list also turns over pretty quickly.

I am bilingual and I prepare wills, etc. for clients who are  
monolingual Spanish speaking. Although I always explain the documents  
in Spanish, for a number of reasons, I always prepare the documents in  
English and have them translated by a certified interpreter. The most  
important reason is that any foreign language documents submitted to  
court must be translated into English by a certified translator.   
So, I always start by assuming that the documents could be submitted  
to court here in the U.S. and that it will eventually need to be in  
English.  As a practical matter, I want my staff to be able to  
read what’s in my files, and in the interest of self- preservation, if  
there were ever a dispute over the translated meaning of a word or  
phrase, I would prefer to have a certified translator take the heat.
