Estates that cross into Poland
Chicago's Polish community means Illinois estates regularly involve Poland in one direction or the other. When a Polish relative dies, the Polish death record - an odpis aktu zgonu - comes here for a probate filing, or to prove that an earlier marriage ended, and we translate it with every annotation.
When the property is in Poland, heirs establish their rights through a court declaration of succession or a notary's certificate of inheritance, and Polish courts and notaries generally require translations by a Polish sworn translator. Ours will not meet that requirement, and we will say so rather than sell you one.
