O’Reilly Doherty & Co. is Dublin’s leading general solicitors since 1984 and has dealt with several cases of grant of probate over the years.
Probate can be defined as a legal process that is required to avail the authority to deal with the estates of a deceased person. The process involves the acquisition of Grant of Representation from the District probate registry or the probate office.
After the issuance of this document, the applicant receives the authority to have access to the deceased assets and make the distribution of the estate.
Types of grants given by the probate office as per the Irish Law
Grant of Probate
If a person dies with a valid will has appointed an executor, then the mentioned person will get the grant of probate for the estate. The executor gets the responsibility and authority to deal with the assets of the deceased as per the terms of the will.
It lies on the executor to ‘prove’ the validity of the will, and if the executor doesn’t want to do that, he/she has the right to renounce or reserve the right as mentioned in the Irish Probate Law.
Grant of Letters of Administration
If a person dies without a valid will, Irish probate law states that the assets are dealt with an ‘administrator’, who generally is supposed to be one or more of the nearest living relatives of the deceased.
Grant of Letters of Administration with Will Annexed
This document is issued if a person dies with a valid will. However, an individual who is not an executor is applying for the grant when the executor is not willing to execute the will.
