Eröffnungsvermerk

From correspondence between a German insurance company and the beneficiary.

"Beglaubigte Ablichtung...des mit dem gerichtlichen Eröffnungsvermerk versehenen Testaments..."

Cannot find this anywhere. Your ideas area appreciated. Thank you!

Ok, neither short nor long . . . but more formal, at least, than a "Vermerk"

not memorandum Ver•mẹrk der; -(e)s, -e; eine kurze, schriftliche Bemerkung auf einem Dokument
(http://de.thefreedictionary.com/Vermerk)

I don't think a memorandum is a "short comment"
Johanna Timm, PhD Aug 22, 2016:
Vermerk Sofern ein Testament in einem Nachlassgericht (oft Teil des Amtsgerichts) verwahrt wird, muss das Gericht die Erben und Beteiligten zur Testamentseröffnung laden. Um die Sache zu beschleunigen, wird jedoch häufig auf diese Ladung verzichtet, und in solchen Fällen erhält das Testament dann einen Eröffnungsvermerk des Nachlassgerichts. (Außerdem wird ein gerichtliches Protokoll über die Testamentseröffnung erstellt, von dem allen Beteiligten eine Abschrift zugesandt wird).
Der eigentliche Vermerk sieht etwa so aus:
Eröffnet am 20. August 2016.
Amtsgericht Berlin-Charlottenburg.
Schmidt, Justizinspektorin
als Urkundsbeamtin des Nachlassgerichts

Manchmal liegen dem fraglichen Testament noch andere –nicht eröffnete- Unterlagen, z.B. das Testament eines Ehegatten bei, und das wird dann ebenfalls in dem „Vermerk“ festgehalten.

Wendy Streitparth Aug 22, 2016:
Maybe "official opening" would be appropriate.
Anahí Seri Aug 22, 2016:
opening note I understand that the will has been opened in Court and that there is a note on the will attesting to it.

Proposed translations

45 mins

opening the will

note of / stamp of
hängt davon ab, wie das Ding gestaltet ist.

Ich kann (spärlichen) Kontekt nur vorstellen, dass es sich um eine Testamentseröffnung handelt.

Note added at 1 hr (2016-08-22 15:58:33 GMT)

in the sense of getting the will proceedings off and running

wir brauchen einen Sachverständigen in diesem Zusammenhang
Peer comment(s):

neutral Edith Kelly : David, Eröffnung is not execution. It's done in the court by a clerk, the letter or whatever is opened. And: I already said; it's a Testamentseröffnung

neutral AllegroTrans : I don't think this document authorises anything. it merely records an event

(formal ) memorandum of opening of will

My suggestion
A bit more formal than a "note"
I have no example of this term in use, as it is not a propos to En-spkg jurisdiction probate procedure etc.

Reference:

Über die erfolgte Eröffnung wird eine Niederschrift gefertigt und auf das eröffnete Testament ein Eröffnungsvermerk gesetzt.

http://www.123recht.net/Ist-ein-Testament-vorhanden-__a8603_...

The official then draws up a protocol, containing this description and the date of death, the date of opening of the will and the names of the legatees.
