Translate Danish PDFs & documents to English scanned or digital — without breaking the layout

Yes. The skifteretsattest is issued by the probate court and confirms who is entitled to deal with the deceased's assets, such as bank accounts. Until it is issued, no one may dispose of anything the deceased left. The English version follows the original layout, with the heirs' names and the dates in their original positions. If you need it for a bank or authority abroad, ask first whether they require a certified translation.

Printed text can, and the old spellings are still read as Danish. Handwritten parts are another matter: if the words are misread, the translation will be wrong too, so treat it as a guide only and compare it word by word with the original. Whether a name is spelled with aa or å goes by the passport or the original registration, so don't change it just because the translation spells it differently. If all you have is a phone picture, rescan the page with your phone's scanner app, upload the PDF in your phone's browser and download the translated PDF.

That is for the landlord or bank to decide: some accept an ordinary translation, others want a certified one. Our English version lets you and them understand every line first, with gross pay, tax deducted and net pay in their original boxes. Amounts may be rewritten in English notation, so that 32.500,00 kr. becomes DKK 32,500.00, with the point and the comma swapped, so watch for that when checking figures.
