Compassionate Guidance. Expert Legal Support.
At HRM Solicitors, we understand that matters involving wills, probate, and estate planning are sensitive and often emotionally challenging. Planning for what happens after death is never easy—but having the right legal framework in place can ease the burden on your loved ones and ensure your wishes are respected.
We aim to provide expert, compassionate support to guide you through every step—whether you are preparing your own will, handling the estate of a loved one, or resolving a dispute over inheritance.
Why Making a Will Is Essential
A will is one of the most important legal documents you will ever need. It outlines how your estate—your property, finances, and personal assets—should be managed and distributed after your death. Without a valid will, your estate may be distributed according to the Succession Act 1965, which may not reflect your true wishes.
At HRM Solicitors, we assist with:
-
✅ Drafting legally valid wills tailored to your specific wishes
-
✅ Identifying and categorising assets
-
✅ Appointing executors
-
✅ Setting out care arrangements for minor children
-
✅ Inheritance planning to reduce potential tax burdens
Changing a Will
Life circumstances change—and your will should reflect that. Whether you’ve married, divorced, moved abroad, had children, or changed your mind about your beneficiaries or executors, we can help you legally amend or update your will to keep it valid and relevant.
Dealing with a Death & Estate Administration
When a loved one passes away, their estate must be administered, whether or not they left a will. This includes:
-
Applying for a Grant of Probate (if there is a valid will)
-
Applying for Letters of Administration (if no will exists)
-
Dealing with intestacy issues
-
Resolving inheritance disputes
-
Distributing assets and property
-
Paying debts and taxes on behalf of the estate
Our solicitors can handle these complex legal processes with the sensitivity and diligence your family deserves.
Probate & Dispute Resolution
Probate is the legal process of validating a will and managing the deceased’s estate. We offer full assistance with:
-
Preparing and submitting applications to the Probate Office
-
Identifying beneficiaries and distributing the estate
-
Representing clients in contested probate matters or inheritance disputes
Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) in Ireland
Planning for potential incapacity is just as important as planning for after death. An Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you lose mental capacity in the future.
We can assist with:
-
Drafting and registering EPAs
-
Advising on your rights and responsibilities
-
Handling disputes involving attorneys or improper conduct
-
Appointing separate attorneys for property & finance and health & welfare
