Probate and Wills

The death of a family member brings with it several difficult decisions and changes which are painful, but necessary. 

Dealing with the affairs of a departed loved one is never easy and the rules and regulations do not make it any easier. They are designed to prevent fraud and generate income for the Exchequer, not to ease a mourning family member’s bureaucratic burden! Paperweight will help you to collate all the diverse documents and facts and figures to supply whoever needs them in order to complete the next phase towards settling the deceased’s estate.

We are able to explain what is involved in preparing a Will so that you have a clearer understanding of your options. We can provide details of professionals to do the drafting.

Highly complex estates and commercial assets are beyond Paperweight’s scope and a Solicitor experienced in this area will be required.

Disclaimer: We provide information and support on legal issues. We are not a law firm and do not provide regulated legal advice. Where appropriate, we can refer you to qualified legal professionals.

"It's nine years yesterday since my mother died. I've not got probate for her yet. I probably owe nine years of tax. It was a big weight on my mind, and I didn’t know what to do…" Read Joe's Story
