About

The Probate Handbook is an authoritative guide to all probate matters that arise in Irish law providing quick solutions and guidelines to various procedures which may arise.

Probate practice is not confined to the administration of estates of deceased persons. It also encompasses the drafting of Wills, advising on Capital Acquisitions Tax and dealing with Court Applications and
Proceedings against estates under the Succession Act or matters of a testamentary nature.

The Probate Handbook seeks to guide the legal practitioner through the pitfalls encountered when drafting a Will.

The book also gives an overview of:

• various Court applications, both contentious and non-contentious which may be necessary;
• Capital Acquisitions Tax and the main points which may arise in the administration of the estate and also in relation to discretionary trusts.
