Probate Litigation

Our legal team has successfully represented beneficiaries and executors in inheritance disputes and probate claims in Ireland. We have many years of experience in providing legal advice and representation to clients in all areas of inheritance law and contesting a will. After an individual’s passing, the legal distribution of their estate often raises issues and challenges that can cause stress and disappointment and often leads to legal proceedings. It is imperative that an individual understands their legal position and entitlements first before they commence any legal proceedings.

Contesting a will in Ireland

If you believe you are entitled to challenge a will in Ireland then we can represent you. We will explain and guide you through the legal process to ensure you receive what you are entitled to.

It is to everyone’s benefit to avoid a costly court case, and we will do everything possible to resolve the matter amicably before court proceedings are undertaken.

We act on behalf of an expectant beneficiary

There are several reasons why someone may feel they have a case to contest a will. Getting legal advice at the earliest opportunity is crucial as your case may depend on acting quickly and engaging with an experienced solicitor in probate litigation.

Probate litigation reasons include:

  • The overall construction of the contents and direction of the will.
  • Legal validity of a will.
  • A claim under the Succession Act 1965 whereby a will does not provide for a person’s children or spouse
  • Potential undue influence of the person who wrote the will.
  • The lack of testamentary capacity.

If you believe you have reason to contest a will for any of the above reasons, you must take legal advice as soon as possible.
