Dutch term

onderhandse akte

Dutch to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)
Hoe zou je 'onderhandse akte' naar het Engels vertalen?
In het Juridisch-Economisch Lexicon wordt 'private instrument' als optie gegeven, maar dit kom ik weinig tegen op het internet.
Proposed translations (English)
4 private deed
4 document signed by a person in his/her private capacity

instrument:= in commercial law, a written document that records an act or agreement and that is regarded as the formal expression thereof, and that therefore provides the evidence of that act or agreement

You haven't given any context, but we've had both words many times before. I agree with your dictionary: private instrument, deed, or agreement.

private deed

Een 'deed' heeft juridische waarde, dus meer waarde dan een gewone overeenkomst tussen twee partijen zonder getuigen, maar er wordt geen notaris bij betrokken.

I would go for sure and use "document signed by a person in his/her private capacity", since een onderhandse akte refers to some sort of private agreement. If you would rather avoid the use of the word "agreement" you can also use "private deed".

Good luck.

neutral writeaway : you are giving an explanation, not really a translation. See discussion box.

1. private contract, private deed
2. [jur.] private instrument [jur.] private instrument, non-notarial instrument

I'd personally opt for "private instrument' or - more fully - "privately executed instrument" as opposed to "public instrument" (NL authentieke akte).
