What happens if you die without a will in Ireland?

Without a will, guardianship decisions can involve the courts, even when family members agree. Many families assume “it’ll be obvious” or “my partner will just handle it”. That assumption can cause delays, stress, and outcomes you didn’t intend.

  • Your assets are distributed according to default legal rules, not your preferences
  • Guardianship arrangements are not something you want decided in a panic
  • Your family can face legal/admin delays right when they least need them

This page isn’t here to scare you for sport. It’s here because avoiding this is easy, and fixing it is fast.


Why this exists

I built this after realising I didn’t have a will, not because I didn’t care, but because it kept getting pushed down the list. Solicitors can be €300+ for straightforward cases, and random online templates don’t feel solid.

This gives parents a simple, Irish-law-structured will with clear execution instructions, without the appointment, and without the bill.


What’s included

  • Appointment of executor(s)
  • Guardianship clause for minor children
  • Distribution of assets (including a residuary section)
  • Structure grounded in Irish succession law (Succession Act 1965)
  • Printable document with a clear signing and witnessing checklist

No subscriptions. No “free trial”. No creepy data hoarding.


Simple pricing

There is no sane reason not to do this. This costs less than a takeaway and removes a permanent legal risk.

€39 - a one-time payment

A typical solicitor fee for a simple will can be €300–€500+. This is designed for straightforward family situations where you want it done properly, today.

Common questions

Is this legally valid in Ireland?
Yes — provided you print, sign, and witness it correctly. The will must be signed by you in the presence of two witnesses who also sign. The generated document includes clear execution instructions.
Do I still need witnesses?
Yes. Irish wills require two witnesses. This isn’t optional, and any service claiming otherwise is either confused or lying.
Is this suitable for complex estates?
No. If you have complex assets, significant tax planning needs, foreign property, or complicated family circumstances, you should use a solicitor. This is built for straightforward Irish situations.
Do you store my personal data?
The intention is minimal retention. Your will is generated for you to download and sign. (Make sure your privacy policy matches your actual technical behaviour — don’t promise “deleted” unless it truly is.)

Most parents mean to do this “soon”

Life doesn’t wait for your to-do list to clear. This takes 10 minutes and removes a silent, avoidable risk from your family’s future.
