Why this matters

If you pass away without a valid will in Ireland, decisions about who raises your children and how their inheritance is managed may be made by the courts.

This template allows you to take control now — reducing uncertainty for your children and giving clear legal guidance to the people you trust.

What this Will allows you to do

Appoint guardians for your children You decide who will take responsibility for your children’s day-to-day care, rather than leaving this decision to the courts.
