Legacies covers the gifts left in a will, and the broader work of handling a person’s Will, estate and final affairs after death. A solicitor practising in this area drafts, reviews and validates Wills and codicils, identifies bequests (legacies), and helps executors collect and distribute assets in accordance with the Will. They also apply for the grant of probate or letters of administration, identify potential inheritance tax issues, and communicate with beneficiaries, creditors and the Probate Registry to wind the estate up lawfully and efficiently.
The moment a will or estate plan is made, crucial decisions and deadlines can affect rights and asset distribution. A solicitor provides protection by guiding the executor through probate, securing the right of representation, and ensuring compliance with the Inheritance Tax regime and court procedures. They help with safeguarding assets, resolving disputes between beneficiaries, and managing the orderly distribution of legacies within the time limits set by law.

I truly wouldn't go anywhere else. This started as a simple sale then turned to probate. All dealt with professionally and with compassion.

Tagged solicitor Peter Martin
I obtained a second opinion from Peter Martin on several matters where my existing solicitor had been failing in both service and explanation of the status with my divorce case, and a brief review of the way forward for applying for probate in respect of my late mothers estate . I found Peter to be extremely knowledgeable and straight to the point. The advice given has probably saved me further expense and valuable time, and has clarified my position in respect of a formal complaint against my divorce case solicitor. I would be pleased to recommend him.

I met with Jonathan MacNamara to discuss the dissolution of a family trust which had been arranged through an unrelated firm of solicitors. Jonathan handled all aspects of the work and produced a very satisfactory outcome. At all times, he was friendly, efficient and professional.

Tagged solicitor Jessie Sun
I was lucky enough to be recommended Capa Law. I found it very easy to deal with all the staff. Jessie was my conveyor to sell my late mother’s house, she done a great job and communicated with the other solicitors I had representing me during probate.
