A certified copy of a document such as a will is a more official form of a conformed copy. In legal practice, if a will (or contract for that matter) is signed, a conformed copy may be made by simply making sure that all aspects of the original are in the copy even though not done in an original manner. For example, a lawyer can make a conformed copy of a will by simply typing the testator's name where the testator signed it in order to show that it was signed. A certified copy is a conformed copy that is certified by some authority that it is a true copy of the original document. When a will is probated, a certified copy is commonly given to the executor. This certified copy consists of a true copy of the original together with the official certification by the court that probated the will that this is indeed a true copy of the will that was probated.

Certified Copies?

Certified copies are copies of documents that have been certified to be accurate copies of originals. This does not mean that the original document is certified to be authentic, only that the copy is genuinely a copy of the original document. This is somewhat like a notarized copy, which is notarized by a public notary to be an authentic copy of an original.


Is a court document like a court order legal if it is not stamped with file or recorded stamp but only conformed copy with the judges name?
