Doesn't this mean the title was left in a mess by the previous solicitors.However, an issue regarding the registration of her house meant that I couldn't complete without searches and check of the solicitors' file, who dealt with the previous probate to proceed. So, in some cases, an issue such as this may require legal assistance.
I don't believe this, I got a Grant myself very quickly and found the probate office very helpful. (not Dublin, I've heard Dublin is difficult). Later in order to sell the house I hired a solicitor.Thanks for all the answers. It seems to me like the only benefit to using a solicitor is to maybe get a Grant of Probate issued more quickly.
However, once that is issued can the executors then administer the estate without the Solicitor? Or is the Grant issued solely to the Solicitor who applied?
That has yet to be revealed. We're waiting since May for news on this.Doesn't this mean the title was left in a mess by the previous solicitors.
That’s a decent accomplishment and I hope it worked out well for you. I haven’t come across a situation before where a property successfully transferred to another without using the services of a solicitor.My uncle left me a house & I transferred to my own name with PRAI. You dont need a solicitor. There was also a boundary issue with my parents house which we both sorted with PRAI via affidavits/maps etc..I also did probate myself..took 3 months approx
This would presumably not be possible if you were transferring it into another unconnected person's name.My uncle left me a house & I transferred to my own name with PRAI. You dont need a solicitor. There was also a boundary issue with my parents house which we both sorted with PRAI via affidavits/maps etc..I also did probate myself..took 3 months approx
That wasn’t my experience. I found the Probate Office in Dublin to be extremely efficient and helpful. It might depend on the individual.I don't believe this, I got a Grant myself very quickly and found the probate office very helpful. (not Dublin, I've heard Dublin is difficult).
presumably it's known as amateurbate in that caseYou don't need a sol.
The executors are free to choose to do the probate themselves.
Thanks for the encouraging words.Zuinig, based on your post, you seem very on top of what is required. Submit the application (see here), collect the assets (a few letters), consider Capital Acqusition Tax, and distribute the proceeds. Some ancillary services (maybe converyancing, maybe a bank account) may be required but in the main nothing you can't do yourself.
You say that you won't get rich. With a division amongst 3 children with today's thresholds of Group A (€335,000), the estate would need to be a million before you will pay tax and €800,000 (80%) in total before you even need to file a return unless you have already inherited/been gifted something from your parents previously. Go for it, step by step.
