Thank you, another question you maybe able to with is I in relation to Power of Attorney , what happens if the person with Power of Attorney dies and the person that appointed them is not deemed able to appoint some one ?This extracy from from an IT answer (28 March,2023) might help:
"Q. My auntie passed away and left a will she wrote in 1994.
She left her four siblings 20 per cent, 10 per cent, 10 per cent and 10 per cent each. Three of them – who were given 20 per cent, 10 per cent and 10 per cent – all passed away before her and they all have living wives and children. The other 50 per cent has been left to all four of their children.
What will happen now with the money left to the three deceased siblings?
A.
...... This falls squarely into something called the “doctrine of lapse”. This is set down in section 91 of the Succession Act 1965, the legislation that governs inheritance in Ireland.
Doctrine of lapse determines that where someone dies before they inherit, anything they were due to inherit goes back into the estate of the person who had left it to them. There is no provision in law for the portion of the estate left to a now dead sibling to pass on to that sibling’s partner/spouse or their children – unless that specific intent in stated by your aunt in the will.
The one exception here is that if she had left something to her own child – as against a sibling – and that child had predeceased her but left children of their own. In that case, the grandchildren will inherit what was intended for the child. But there is still no provision for the child’s partner or spouse to inherit in their place."
Aunt’s will left a share of estate to siblings who died before her
Q&A: What happens when someone dies before they inherit depends on the wording of the will and the precise circumstanceswww.irishtimes.com
