Dutch term

daarvoor verleden

Dutch to English Law/Patents Real Estate Deed of transfer of land
Which meaning of daarvoor is intended here: 'for that purpose' or 'preceding'?

The sentence is:

door inschrijving ... op vierentwintig december ..... van een akte van levering of drieentwintig december daarvoor verleden voor mr. X, notaris

'Executed for that purpose on 23 December' or 'executed on the 23 December preceding'? Both meanings seem possible to me.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

neutral philgoddard : Wrong verb - you don't pass deeds, you execute or sign them. But this is the right idea.

2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Phil is right that you execute a deed, but thanks for confirming my hunch. However, I still think 'preceding' may be the translation for daarvoor in this instance, especially as there is also a daarna in similar parts of the text where the dates fit."
