Succession Law, Wills, Probate, & Inheritance

When somebody dies, their “estate” or property must be passed on to those that stand to inherit. The legal process of transferring the property and dealing with tax and other matters is commonly known as “probate”. It involves legally validating or proving the Will and also dealing with the Revenue Commissioners and other State bodies.

The Executor named in the Will is the person whose duty it is to deal with these matters. If you are an Executor, we can guide you through this process and assist you in fulfilling your duties with the minimum of stress.

If the deceased person did not make a Will then the question of who is to inherit is decided by law and in this instance we can let you know who would be entitled to inherit and to deal with matters relating to the deceased person.

If you are an Executor or if your relative or loved-one has died without making a Will, please call us to arrange a free initial consultation with Jenny Powell of this office.
