An Irish Will for Australians abroad helps people living in Australia who own property or assets in Ireland plan how those assets will pass on their death. A service of this kind typically provides professionally drafted, Ireland-specific documents under Irish succession law, tailored to your circumstances. It is for people based in Australia who want their Irish affairs dealt with clearly, without open-ended hourly billing. This service is not a substitute for full legal representation in contested or high-value matters; for complex disputes, contact us for a tailored quote.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an Irish Will for someone living in Australia cost?
This page is a free guide — nothing on it is for sale. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate (a section 150 letter) before starting. Get quotes through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
Do I need a separate Irish Will if I live in Australia?
Not always, but where you own Irish assets, an Irish Will can make the administration of those assets simpler. It must be coordinated with any Will you have in Australia so one does not revoke the other.
Will my Australian Will be recognised in Ireland?
A Will made abroad can be recognised if it meets certain formal requirements, but it may cause delay. The advice covers how best to structure your Wills.
