    How long does it take to finalize an estate?

    I think there may be pensions overpayment in my case too. I was assuming the current process is going through the departments and I would get a tax/welfare repayment demand from revenue/SW at some point. The solicitor said in November that everything on our side had been done. I thought that...

    How long does it take to finalize an estate?

    Sorry maybe my terms is incorrect. In November I had to fill out SA2 and I think everything was submitted to revenue/social welfare? I don't really know, that's part of the problem. The solicitor just said this is the part which takes the longest - they don't hear anything until revenue, social...

    Brother died in March 2021, had a will, using a solicitor, probate was granted relatively quickly by November 2021 as I managed to get documentation for everything (bank accounts, pension payments, etc.). However I have heard absolutely nothing ever since, and it's now November 2022. The...

    Ireland Enduring a Long Age of Austerity

    Ireland enters its second year in the ungentle embrace of its bailout providers facing a further €3.8 billion ($5 billion) of budget cuts. It is by general acclamation the star pupil among the growing group of euro-zone members that have lost the confidence of bond investors, and the closest...

    Key Post Brendan Burgess explains: How to protect your deposits

    For an ordinary deposit account with say €50k, can you just walk in and withdraw the cash? Do you have to give them notice first? Would they even give you that amount of cash!? People talk of putting all their money under the mattress, however if you have enough cash to live on monthly and the...

    Anglo and Irish Nationwide Deposits have been transferred

    I went into a branch on Friday 18th and the clerk said the same thing to me. The rate stays the same until it roll-overs, which for me is June. I presume then the rate will be whatever PTSB have at that time.

    40k... no idea where to invest!

    And Gold, Silver and Oil are not? Are you serious? Most people will tell you gold is in a bubble now. Silver & Oil are way too volatile? So what if the € devalues? Unless we return to bartering, you'll still need €s in your pocket to buy stuff. And someone else is suggesting turning the OP...

    Worried about the Irish Bank Guarantee? Want to maximise your demand deposit interest

    Are deposit rates likely to go up or down now? Half of me thinks UP because the banks need to build a deposit base fast. The other half thinks DOWN because the interest payments will cost too much. What happened in Greece, Iceland, etc.? Thanks.

    Costs of trading

    No, the most neglected subject are the costs ;-) An individual trader just cannot make money when each share has to move such a large %, just to cover the trading costs. Either people are not making their tax returns, or are fooling themselves into what is their actual profit margin. I also...

    Costs of trading

    Anything which reduces the cost of share trading would be a good thing, however it's CGT which is the real killer it seems. I really have to question all these posts on AAM where the traders say they have made money - are they only looking at how much they made from the sale (i.e. bought for...

    Costs of trading

    Given the costs below, I find it hard to believe that the little (Irish) guy can make any money trading? Is it really a fools game? It all seems exorbitantly expensive?
