Spanish term
de quien en vida llevara el nombre
estoy con la traducción de una carta poder de México, de español a inglés. Es para autorizar la salida del territorio nacional del cadáver "de quien en vida llevara el nombre de" NN.
¿Hay alguna fórmula ya establecida para la frase "de quien en vida llevara el nombre de"? ¿Cómo se traduce habitualmente?
Muchas gracias :)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: See my comment on Adrian's answer. I just don't think this is something you'd see on an English-language document.

I agree with you; nevertheless the translation is clear and unambiguous and the source text doesn't say "the late"; no harm in literal trans. of a formulaic term as long as the result isn't rubbish

: If the orig. doc. (which I assume is a POA) wanted to say "the late" it would be worded "el difunto"

I don't believe in awkward literal translation, even for legal documents.

: Yep, perfect. If you say "the person who, while alive, was named..." the import of this is that that person is now dead, not that they no longer bear the name because they are dead, which, presumably, would be the only other reason for saying it this way.
