Making a Will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your family. Under Irish law, if you die without a valid Will, your estate is distributed according to intestacy rules — which may not reflect your wishes.
Why make a Will in Ireland?
A properly drafted Will allows you to:
- Choose who inherits your property and assets
- Appoint guardians for minor children
- Name executors to administer your estate
- Minimise inheritance tax liabilities where possible
- Provide for specific family members or charities
Monahan Solicitors help clients across Drogheda and Co. Louth make Wills that are legally valid and reflect their wishes clearly.
Grant of Probate in Ireland
When a person dies, their executors often need to obtain a Grant of Probate from the Probate Office to administer the estate. This involves valuing assets, paying debts, and distributing inheritances to beneficiaries.
Our probate solicitors guide executors through this process with sensitivity and efficiency — particularly important during a difficult time for families.
Enduring Power of Attorney
An Enduring Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone to manage your affairs if you lose mental capacity. This is an essential part of estate planning alongside your Will.

When should you update your Will?
Review your Will after major life events — marriage, separation, the birth of a child, buying property, or a significant change in assets. An outdated Will may not reflect your current wishes or Irish succession law.
