Questions & Answers about El certificado de últimas voluntades no acredita el interés legítimo.
What exactly does certificado de últimas voluntades mean in Spain?
In Spain, certificado de últimas voluntades is a specific legal document. It does not contain the will itself. Instead, it states whether a deceased person made a will, and if so, before which notary and on what date.
So this is a fixed legal expression, not just a casual phrase meaning certificate of last wishes.
Why is it últimas voluntades in the plural?
Because últimas voluntades is a set expression in legal Spanish meaning last wishes or testamentary wishes. Spanish often uses the plural here, just as English commonly says last wishes rather than last wills in ordinary language.
In this phrase:
- últimas = last
- voluntades = wishes / intentions / legal wishes
Even though English often talks about a will in the singular, Spanish legal terminology keeps the plural phrase últimas voluntades.
