<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
