When Should I See a Solicitor Instead?

While our will templates cover most situations, you may want to consult a solicitor if:

  • Foreign assets: If you own property or substantial assets outside Ireland
  • Business succession: If you own a business that needs structured succession planning
  • Complex family situations: Blended families, estrangement, or unusual circumstances
  • Trusts beyond guardianship: If you need sophisticated trust arrangements beyond standard provisions
  • High-value estates: For tax planning and inheritance optimization
