[WSBAPT] Translation of Death Certificate Needed (Spanish) & Apostille for Mexican Real Property

[David Faber]

Good morning,

A client of mine died owning real property in Mexico with their partner
JTWROS (or Mexico's equivalent). We are attempting to provide a death
certificate to the relevant Mexican authorities to remove client's name
from title, which requires a translation of the death cert. to Spanish and
an apostille from the WA SOS office.

(1) What translation service do you recommend? I tried searching it out and
can't find an easy answer to what is a sufficient translation service but
figure someone on this list would have relevant experience working with a
translator.

(2) The apostille instructions on the SOS website are confusing. What
precisely do we need to have receive the apostille? Is it the Death
Certificate itself or is it a notarized copy of the translation? I would
very much like to avoid wasting time and money going after an apostille on
the wrong document.

Thank you very much.

Best,
David J. Faber
