Making a will gives you certainty about who inherits, can reduce inheritance tax and lets you appoint guardians for young children.

Making a will in Killarney

Everybody should have a will. Without one, your estate passes under the rules of intestacy in the Succession Act 1965, which often leads to property being divided or sold in ways you would not have chosen.

Why make a will?

You decide who inherits your home, savings, farm or business.
You can appoint guardians and trustees for young children.
You can structure gifts to make the best use of inheritance tax thresholds and reliefs.
You make things far simpler for your family at a difficult time.

Our approach

We meet with you, go through your assets and family circumstances, and draft a will that does what you want. Where there is a farm, business or significant property, we also look at lifetime planning and tax reliefs.

When to update your will

Review your will after marriage, separation, the birth of a child, a death in the family or a major change in your assets. Marriage can revoke an existing will.
