Wills

A Will is a witnessed document that sets out in writing the deceased’s wishes, after death, for their possessions, referred to as their Estate. A will is also an important tax-planning device.  It can be drafted to make the best possible use of the various tax reliefs. Our expert and experienced Will Solicitors will discuss the entire process with you. We will ensure that your interests are protected at all times and that the procedure is carried out speedily and efficiently.

Finally, you should always seek legal advice on the possible tax implications of either receiving or giving any gift or inheritance.

Who are the parties to a Will?

The party granting the Will is known as the Testator. You will also require two witnesses which we can facilitate you by appointing our office staff. It is also highly advisable that you obtain a certificate certifying that you have the mental capacity to knowingly make a Will. The reason being is that as the Irish Population lives longer, Dementia and other diseases of the mind are common place and may hasten the distribution of your Estate if the Probate office believe there is a question mark over whether you had the mental capacity to make a Will.
