Description
"Wills, Probate & Estates" is part of the "Law Society of Ireland" series of manuals, which provides students with detailed but accessible accounts of the key areas a solicitor will deal with in practice. It has been written by practitioners and Law Society of Ireland lecturers to give trainee solicitors and practitioners a comprehensive understanding of current practice and procedure in the area of wills, trusts, probate, and the administration of estates. The manual familiarizes students with the essential elements of a will, going on to cover fully the various procedures involving Grants of Representation and the administration of estates, ensuring that students will know how to draft appropriate documentation and advise their clients accordingly. The inclusion of the common law and statutory background allows a solicitor to meet the statutory requirements when practising. "Wills, Probate & Estates" provides an excellent overview of the subject area from a practical perspective, and is the only book of its kind published specifically for the Irish jurisdiction.
