Translated by Bhatarsaigh
Target language: English

If there are very special reasons, the municipality can issue an exemption to the asset distribution
Remarks about the translation
The asset distribution is called a shift, which is apparently a Danish legal term.

To my knowledge there is no such nglish word as "skifte". It means the administration and distribution af a deceased person's valuables. If there is a widow or widower the "skifte" can be postponed to after this person dies or remarries. At that time there will normally have to be a "skifte" of the original person's part of the common heritage. And in very special cases there can be an exemption from that which is what this text is about.

Maybe "inheritance distribution" or "asset distribution" - what do you think?

skiftefritagelse has to do with divorce, separation and when/if marry again.(not inheritance)

Anyway, I've changed it to "asset distribution", since that could be interpreted either way.

Skifte definitely has to do with redistribution of assets after a person's death, determining the legal aspects of inheritance. But the more general meaning, dividing assets own in common by a married couple during a divorce, is also a meaning of the word; so "asset distribution" is a neutral way of translating this - or perhaps rather "asset redistribution".

If there is further doubt, ask user edelvang, he is a Danish law student.

wkn, (here comes a stupid question )
Is it ok. to use the word 'skiftefritagelse'
even if it's NOT about estate of a dead person.
or did I get it wrong?

Pias, not a stupid question. "skiftefritagelse" can be used both about the estate of a dead person, the estate of a divorcing couple, and (as far as I know) a number of less common estate dividing situations.

I couldn't do better than the proposed translation. My legal English isn't the strongest, but I think it covers it. A judge would certainly understand it anyway. The term "skifte" is used both in inheritance law, divorce law and ind cases of bankruptcy.
