Spanish term or phrase: en uso de la voz
Hola forer@s! Esta frase aparece en un documento legal. Fulano de Tal, en uso de la voz, declara que... etc.
Había visto "en pleno uso de sus facultades mentales", pero nunca "en uso de la voz".
No he encontrado nada que me indique cómo traducirla (que no sea literalmente).
Agradeceré sus sugerencias.
Gracias y feliz fin de semana (largo para quienes celebran el Día del Trabajo el lunes)...!

Saludos,

D.

agree  Adrian MM.: if the asker is indeed confirming that this is a Last Will & Testament. Legalistically, this is the 'publication' of a Will to witnesses // I understood the testator or testatrix is making & confirming own Will made - which certainly is UK Wills Act 1837.

  -> Yes could welll be a deed of matters of common knowledge for inheritance, Never mind the UK, we don't have an equivalent!//Wills Act 1837 in Latin America???? I dunnae think so

having been given the floor


Explanation:
I believe that's what they mean here, unless they mean "in exercising his (full) speaking rights."
