furnish any bond or other security in any jurisdiction

I am grateful to Anja and iustrans (BrE/Lat) justrans for drawing my attention back to 'jurisdiction' over which I had been racking (Huber DE/EN translation manual: wrecking) my post-retirement and Alzheimers brains, whilst feel that jedweder Gerichtsstand (u. zw. eine dafür im beliebigen Land zuständige Hinterlegungsstelle) might be another way to go.

BTW. I used the AmE formulation for 'Gerichtsstand ist Frankfurt an der Oder etc.' of 'venue is laid at Frankfurt a.d.O.'. (The choice of Frankfurt is deliberate).

Hi Jenny - ich wuerde das genauso uebersetzen, allerdings den Verwalter, wie von Adrian vogeschlagen, als Nachlassverwalter praezisieren. Statt Zustaendigkeit eventuell rechtliche Zustaendigkeit oder Gerichtsbarkeit, aber das ist Geschmackssache. :)

My last post disappeared, but FWIW I agree with all of your suggestions, Jenny. A bond could be put up - US/Can.: posted - for due & proper performance of the admin. of the estate (Verpflichtungen may denote a mere obligation to pay estate bankers' fees, so be too wide) and the giving of a 'UK Solicitor's Undertaking' as a trustee is sthg. very specific. Security could be for litigation purposes, so (court) costs > Prozeßkosten.

Nachlaßverwalter IMO is right, whilst Treuhänder/in CH or LI can mean an accountant. so ambiguous in those 'jurisdictions'-
