We make the process straightforward — and make sure your legal affairs are in order.

You’ve married, divorced, or started a family

You simply want peace of mind
Making a will is one of the simplest, most powerful legal steps you can take to protect your loved ones.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a solicitor to make a will?
Technically, no — but we strongly advise it. Poorly worded or invalid wills can cause costly disputes and unnecessary stress. A solicitor ensures it’s done correctly and stands up legally.
How much does it cost to make a will?
We offer clear, fixed-fee pricing for most wills. For more complex cases or estate planning, we’ll give you a full breakdown before starting.
How long does probate take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the estate — but we’ll manage the process for you and keep you informed every step of the way.
What if there’s no will?
We can apply for a Grant of Administration and guide you through the process of administering the estate under Irish law.
