Verklaring van Erfrecht
In een Nederlandse verklaring van erfrecht staat de volgende zin:
'Mitsdien is de heer X, [...], zelfstandig bevoegd en gerechtigd om de nalatenschap van de overledene [...] te beheren.'
Mijn vraag is, is het acceptabel om 'zelfstandig bevoegd en gerechtigd' met één begrip te vertalen, als volgt:
'Therefore Mr X has independent authority to administer the estate of the Deceased.' Of is er een alternatieve oplossing? Het alternatief dat ik kan bedenken is 'has independent authority and is authorized', en dat vind ik geen optie.
Graag hoor ik feedback over deze kwestie.

independently authorised
Literally, "independently authorised and empowered", but "empowered" is superfluous here.

Note from asker:
| I'm still a little reluctant to accept 'independently authorised' as an equivalent of 'authorized to act independently'. Do you have any sources of reference? |

equivalent of 'authorized to act independently'. Do you have any sources of
reference?
Answerer TechLawDC: I think the two are the same, from a legal standpoint. I chose "independently authorised" because as a translator I try to stay as close to the original as is justifiable.
zelfstandig bevoegd = niet onder curatele ???
Provided that Mr. X is not under legal restraint and has the authority ...
