Frequently asked questions
How much does help with an Irish inheritance cost for US beneficiaries?
The price of this self-complete template is shown at the top of this page. You pay once and there are no further charges from us. The price covers the template and guidance notes only — it does not include legal advice or review by a solicitor.
Do US beneficiaries pay Irish inheritance tax?
Irish Capital Acquisitions Tax can apply to inheritances of Irish property and in other cases, depending on the circumstances. US tax may also be relevant, so specialist tax advice may be needed.
How long does it take to receive an Irish inheritance?
It depends on the estate, including how long it takes to obtain a grant and deal with assets and taxes.
