Chosen translation Thanks everyone for your help.
I've finally chosen this translation: les avances seront acquises/dévolues dès paiement.

AllegroTrans Aug 20, 2023:

Nothing Scottish in this phrase It would be comprehensible in England and Wales, the USA and many other jurisdictions

Daryo Aug 20, 2023:

Another "little detail" ... Scottish legal jargon can be as weird as Swiss French compared to French French.

Germaine Please post your suggestion as an answer, so that I (and perhaps others) can agree. Thank you.

@Daryo I understand your position. I ticked the box ChatGPT in my criteria out of curiosity, to see what the AI would come to.
This is a proposition given by a well-trained tool, that we can't ignore, despite all our mistrust.
I totally agree with you: there is no "one size fits all" in translation. However, when we ask questions here, gathering as many options as possible is the goal. We then have to make our choice. Plus, some of the answers, might not be suited for our current project, but we can keep it in mind for future ones. That's the great value of this platform to me.

Daryo Aug 17, 2023:

I will not put my own input next to ChatGPT generated amateurish nonsense.

Anne-Lise Simond (asker) Aug 17, 2023:

@Daryo Would you have any suggestion on how to translate this? Thanks

Daryo Aug 17, 2023:

@ Germaine FIRST

Have you noticed WHAT (I didn't say WHO on purpose) is this "Answerer". Starting with its name?
Check the profile - an obviously fictive nonsensical "contact address" (house number 600 in a tiny place of 124 inhabitant, as much credible as the rest ...), the "answerer's website" being a wiki page about a FICTIONAL "research project". And so on.

About the "answer"

Any "answer" that claims, with maximum confidence level but without any references whatsoever, that any 4 word string is ALWAYS translated in the same way should immediately activate alarm bells. That's not how human language works.

The "answer" is plain obviously lifted from some unquoted source related to selling (clue: "the transfer of ownership or rights upon the completion of a payment")

I'm just curious to know WHERE do you see any selling in this ST?

If there are any seller or buyer in this ST, they are doing a damn job of hiding themselves.

All I can see in this ST is some beneficiary getting an "advance payment" to be offset from their final share at the time of settling a trust fund.

Anne-Lise Simond (asker) Aug 17, 2023:

Merci Germaine. J'avais cette notion en tête, mais n'était vraiment pas sûre.

Germaine Aug 16, 2023:

Anne-Lise, Malgré ce qu'en pense Daryo, ça dit : "Mes exécuteurs peuvent verser, pour l’entretien, l’éducation ou le bénéfice d’un bénéficiaire, le revenu, y compris tout ou partie du revenu accumulé, et toute partie à concurrence de la part entière du capital du fonds fiduciaire d’un bénéficiaire présumé être bénéficiaire de telle part et ces avances sont acquises dès paiement."

Note : [and] such advances...
