733.204  Probate of a will written in a foreign language.--

(1)  No will written in a foreign language shall be admitted to probate unless it is accompanied by a true and complete English translation.

(2)  In admitting the will to probate, the court shall establish its correct English translation. If the original will is not or cannot be filed, a photographic copy of the original will shall be filed. At any time during the administration any interested person may have the correctness of the translation, or any part, redetermined after formal notice to all other interested persons. No personal representative who complies in good faith with the English translation of the will as may then be established by the court shall thereafter be held liable as a result of having done so.
