A Will hand written in Irish in 1953


James Cahill Solicitor

A Will is a formal document, which sets out what a person wishes to happen to their possessions after their death. When you make your Will, you appoint executors; these are people who you can trust to carry out your wishes.

A Will should be written down and witnessed by two people. These witnesses must not be beneficiaries of your Will.

Ideally, your Will should be prepared and signed in the presence of a solicitor, so that it can be proved in law. Probate means that there is evidence that this is your last Will and Testament, and the executors have permission to carry our your wishes. If you add something to your Will at a later date, this is called a codicil.

In legal terms, your possessions are known as your estate. If you do not have a Will or there is no evidence of a last Will and Testament on your death, this is called intestate. In Ireland, your estate will be divided between your nearest next of kin.
