Oak Legal makes the process straightforward. We take the time to understand your circumstances and draft a will that clearly reflects your wishes.
Oak Legal is based in Greystones, Co. Wicklow, and acts for clients across Ireland. You’ll deal directly with Jason Burke from first contact to completion. Home visits are available for clients who are unable to attend our offices.
Making a will
We discuss your assets, your family, and your wishes, and flag anything that needs particular care.
We prepare a will in plain, precise language and give you time to read it and ask questions.
We oversee correct signing and witnessing, so there is no doubt about validity.
If you die without a valid will, your estate is distributed according to fixed statutory rules under the Succession Act, and those rules may not reflect your wishes. Why every adult in Ireland should have a will explains what a will lets you control.
Marriage, separation, a new child, buying property, or a death in the family can all affect your will. It is worth reviewing every few years and after any significant change in your circumstances.
Enduring Powers of Attorney
An Enduring Power of Attorney lets you appoint a trusted person to make decisions on your behalf if you later lose the capacity to make them yourself. Read Enduring Power of Attorney: planning ahead for how one is put in place.
Probate and estate administration
We act on Grants of Probate and the administration of intestate estates, including Revenue CA24 and CAT returns and deeds of family arrangement.
