Inherited a House, but Your Brother Won't Move Out? 🏠

It happens more often than you might think.

When a family member refuses to leave an inherited property, the best approach is usually to start with a conversation.

If that doesn't work, the executor may need legal assistance, and in some cases, court proceedings may be necessary.

Resolving things early can save time, money and family relationships.

Buying a New Build? Watch Out for Hidden Costs! 🏡

Your mortgage is approved, Help to Buy is sorted, and you're ready to move in. But have you checked what's actually included?

Flooring, kitchen fittings and landscaping aren't always part of the deal. Depending on your choices, these extras could add €30,000 or more to your budget.

Check what's included before signing your contract!

When Is a Will Read After Someone Dies?

There's no fixed time. Some families want to discuss the will within days, while others prefer to wait until after the month's mind.

It often depends on the family's circumstances and when the executors are ready to proceed.

Every family is different, and there's no need to rush an already difficult time.

Thinking of Buying a House for Your Child? 🏠

It might seem like a great idea, but buying property for a child under 18 can create legal complications.

The property may need to be held in trust, limiting your control over it. And when your child becomes legally entitled to take ownership, the decisions about the property may no longer be yours.

Before buying, consider your options and get proper legal advice.

Concerned About Your Parent’s Home While They’re in a Nursing Home?

If family members are living in or using the property and problems are starting, don’t automatically wait until it becomes a legal dispute.
Where possible, address the issue early, communicate clearly and try to prevent the situation from escalating.
Sometimes the best first step is simply having the difficult conversation.

Selling Your Property but the Title Deeds Are Missing?

Don’t panic. Missing title documents can be dealt with, although the process will depend on how the property title is registered.
Your solicitor can establish what’s required and guide you through the process.

Missing deeds don’t necessarily mean the end of your sale.

Can Probate Really Be Done in Six Months?

Sometimes, yes. Even a straightforward estate can become complicated when executors or beneficiaries don't get along.
In this case, despite those difficulties, the estate was still progressed in around six months.
Every estate is different, but family disagreements don't necessarily mean probate has to take years.

Selling Your Property and Found a Judgment Mortgage?

Don’t panic. If the debt has already been settled, it may simply be a matter of completing the necessary paperwork to clear it from the property register.

Your solicitor can check what’s required and help keep the sale moving.

Who Can Enter a House During Probate?

When family members are already arguing about access to a deceased person's home, it can be an early sign that administering the estate may become difficult.
An executor has a duty to gather and protect the deceased person's assets, including property. That can mean taking practical steps to secure the home while the estate is being administered. Citizens Information
Where disagreements are already developing, getting legal advice early can help prevent the situation from escalating.
The executor's responsibility is to protect and properly administer the estate.

Buying a Home Together but Not Married?

Before buying, have the conversation about how you're going to own the property.

You can own as joint tenants, where the property passes to the surviving joint owner on death, or as tenants in common, where you hold defined shares — for example 50/50 or 70/30. Citizens Information

If you're contributing different amounts, or simply want clarity about what each person owns, discuss it with your solicitor before signing.

Love is great. Clear, defined ownership is better.
