Thought i'd post here rather than start a new thread.
My FIL died in UK a few years back and he owned some land in Ireland.
Probate has been granted in UK and my wife has been in touch with a
solicitor to look after Irish side. He has asked for €500 to be held in A/C
before he does anything. Is this standard practice to ask for funds upfront?
My wife has already paid for and provided to solicitor digital land maps,copy
of death cert, valuation report for lands and copy letters of administration noting
her sister as legal personal representation
It's not uncommon, even the probate office fees and the commissioner for oaths fees to take out an Irish grant will mount up ( depends on the value of the estate), and after that there will be PRAI fees to register. The solicitor won't want to be out of pocket before they are even paid themselves.
Thanks Vanilla, are there any of these fees set or are they all based on land value? Would anyone with access to costs for probate office fees and commissioner of oaths fees please post what they might be?
I assume the PRAI fees will be a set amount for just one folio number?
