Wills & Probate

By making a Will you are setting out how you want your assets to be distributed on your death. A Will speaks from the date of death and can be amended at any stage prior to the testator’s death. If you do not make a will your assets will be distributed according to the rules of intestacy and your personal representative will have no authority to deviate from these rules. By making a Will you decide how your assets are to be distributed.

In order to administer the estate in accordance with the terms of the Will the executor will apply for a grant of probate. This involves gathering information including the deceased’s assets and liabilities, and making an application to the Probate Office. Once the grant of probate issues from the Probate Office the executor can then distribute the estate.

Where there is no Will the deceased’s personal representative will make an application to the Probate Office for a grant of letters of administration. The application is similar to an application for a grant of probate in that the personal representative will gather information including the deceased’s assets and liabilities and apply to the Probate Office. Once the grant of letters of administration have issued from the Probate Office the personal representative can administer the estate in accordance to the rules of intestacy.

Michael and Sinead were a great help and guided us expertly through the property purchase process from start to finish. They were most thorough and made the whole experience seamless .I would have no hesitations in recommending them!

First off, big thank you to Michael and Sinead for helping us close our new home. It's a stressful process and they truly helped us at every step, especially in the closing stages where we were following up multiple times a day! Overall, I'd highly recommend working with the team here since they are helpful, quick and efficient.The only feedback I would have, and this is coming from someone who isn't from Ireland, is that it would be super helpful if the team would have an initial consultation where they would explain the entire process in detail. A lot of times we were learning new things on the go which was a bit worrisome (even though Michael and Sinead had it under control).Other than that, great experience. Thank you, both!

I recently had the pleasure of working with MB Solicitors for the sale of my apartment, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, the process was smooth, efficient, and stress-free. Special thanks to Dora, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled meticulously. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and clear communication made all the difference. I always felt informed and supported throughout the transaction. I highly recommend MB Solicitors, for anyone looking to navigate the complexities of property sales with ease.

I highly recommend Michael. He dealt with a very tedious case that took much longer than expected. Always relaxed, professional and upfront with everything. I would not hesitate to use him again in the future.

I would highly recommend MB Solicitors. Michael and the team were very easy to deal with and nothing was too much trouble. They provided both a friendly and professional service which removed a lot of stress from the mortgage process. Fees were also very reasonable.

Michael and Sinead were great in helping us buy our new build house. As is expected there were loads of delays on the developers side but as soon as things were needed Michael or Sinead were on top of it. They were both great at explaining every step to us and answering all of our questions as this is our first house so a lot of things were new to us. We just received the keys today and in time to avoid another mortgage rate increase! We're delighted and grateful to MBSolicitors for their work. I would recommend reaching out to them if you are buying a house
