Can anyone please help me to understand these documents please

I have received pages and pages of information regarding a will and property sale in France. 

Not understanding French and needing to sign these documents asap I need to understand them so have been trying to use Google translate but there are so many pages its impossible. 

I thought I could copy and paste the entire thing so I could translate and read it all at once but the format it has been sent in does not allow me to copy and paste.

I tried using co-pilot but it tells me to copy and paste or 'share' then it can translate but I dont want to share with the world.

Would the solicitor / l’avocat provide a certified translation? 

Otherwise search for a local certified translation service, or search for a UK base solicitor qualified to advise on french law.

Thank you for the reply. There is so much and what bit we have translated has made us realise we do need to get a UK solicitor to look it over.

I would agree with this: bear in mind that google translate cannot be 'relied' on, and I'd say especially so where technical / legal language is involved. 

You might find help by asking on a neighbourhood site (such as local FB pages or NextDoor) for a native French speaker, or finding someone teaching French, or if there's a local branch of the Alliance Francaise ... but you'd only be able to rely on a service if you pay for it - because it's only then that you can sue the pants of someone if they mistranslated for you.
