Grant of Probate in Ireland
When someone dies leaving a valid will, the executor may need to obtain a Grant of Probate before they can deal with certain assets and administer the estate.
The process can involve gathering information about the deceased's assets and liabilities, preparing the required documentation, dealing with Revenue and submitting the application to the Probate Office.
Our probate solicitors can manage the legal process for you and explain what is required at each stage.
Estate Administration
Obtaining the Grant is only one part of administering an estate.
Once authority to administer the estate has been obtained, there may be property, bank accounts, investments, debts, tax matters and beneficiaries to deal with.
We can advise and assist executors with the wider administration of the estate, helping you understand what needs to be done and ensuring the legal aspects are dealt with properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a solicitor to apply for probate?
Not every personal application requires a solicitor, but there are circumstances where professional legal assistance is particularly important. We can explain the process and advise you on your particular estate.
What is a Grant of Probate?
A Grant of Probate gives an executor legal authority to administer the estate of a deceased person where there is a valid will and the executor is entitled to apply.
What if there is no will?
Where someone dies without a valid will, a different type of grant may be required. We can advise on Grant of Administration and the administration of an intestate estate.
How long does probate take?
Processing times vary and depend on the type and completeness of the application, as well as current Probate Office demand. We will explain the likely process for your circumstances.
How much does a probate solicitor cost?
The cost depends on the circumstances and complexity of the estate. We will explain our fees and the likely work involved before you proceed.
Can you deal with the whole estate?
We can advise and assist with the wider administration of an estate, not just the application for the Grant.
