French term
interroger l'Etude B
French to English
Law/Patents
Names (personal, company)
Wills and Testaments
Hi,
I am translating a short letter sent by a solicitor to the surviving spouse of a testator. The letter writer states that they have not yet found a copy of the supposed willl and need to "interroger l'Etude B" on the matter.
I understand that "étude" can refer to the legal chambers/office of a barrister/solicitor etc. However does the capitalisation here of "Etude B" signify that this refers to some official state body, perhaps one involved with wills, probate etc?
Any help would be appreciated.
Merci!

consider Plan B
I'm assuming that this appears in your document as you've written it here, ie that you're not abbreviating something with "B". In that case, it's not a government depratment or professional office, it's just Plan B, what you do when Plan A doesn't work.

| Thanks Nigel. A creative suggestion alright but I don't think it's appropriate in this case. Thanks anyway! |
