Wills & Probate

Wills

A question that is often asked of our solicitors is "Why Should I make a Will?"
The following is a list of the general reasons why a will should be made:-

Why Should I Make a Will?

  • You decide what happens to your property on your death.
  • You can appoint guardians and trustees for your minor children.
  • You can change your will if circumstances change.
  • It gives peace of mind.
  • When making a will you can avail of the opportunity to seek tax advice or estate planning.

It is often a topic that people choose to ignore or postpone. However, at Tormeys we believe that it is an issue which people should give serious consideration to. Our team will guide you through the relevant details such as tax, statutory entitlements of next of kin and trusts. Wills can be changed at any time and we would advise that clients review their wills to take in their present circumstances.

Feel free to contact us if you are thinking of making your first will or amending previous wills.

Probate

The administration of estates primarily deals with the distribution of the assets of a deceased person to their successors or next of kin. At a time where our clients are experiencing huge grief, we bring them through the process in a caring yet professional way. Tormeys will guide you through the implications of the Succession Act, 1965 and the various tax laws, which affect the administration of an estate.
