No one likes to think of what will happen when they are gone. Stephen Walsh & Co. can help you plan for what happens when you are no longer there – ensuring everything is distributed according to your wishes.

We offer an expert yet competitively priced Will drafting service together with Powers of Attorney specifically tailored to the client’s individual circumstances and requirements.
After the passing of a loved one it can be a difficult time for family members to take the necessary steps towards extracting a Grant of Probate. A Grant is usually necessary to deal with the assets of a deceased person and we provide comprehensive advice to a Personal Representative on all aspects of extracting a Grant of Probate and Administering the Estate.
We work with private individuals, trustees and beneficiaries, commercial entities, and chartered organisations with assets in Ireland, within the EU and overseas. For families and private clients, we always endeavour to provide wealth and succession planning advice which is tailored to your precise situation and future wishes. And in the event of a new set of life circumstances, perhaps getting married, having a new child, or receiving an inheritance, we will help you to make the necessary changes to your Will.
