Wardship
Probate refers to the area of law which deals with the drafting of wills and intestacy. Under this legal process, an executor or an administrator is appointed to deal with the assets of a person who has since become deceased. They are also tasked with gathering all assets held by the deceased so that any liabilities in the deceased’s estate can be paid off. In cases where a will has not been drafted, the laws in the state governing intestacy will apply (a common example of this would be where someone who is married has become deceased without drafting a will, in which case the assets will automatically be transferred to their spouse and children).

What is conveyancing?In Ireland, conveyancing is essentially the legal process involved in transferring the ownership of property from one person (the seller) to another (the buyer). It's a crucial part of any property transaction, ensuring that the transfer is legally sound and that the buyer receives clear title to the property.

In Irish Law, what does litigation mean?Litigation in Irish law represents the formal process of resolving legal disputes through the court system. When parties cannot reach an agreement through alternative methods like negotiation or mediation, they resort to litigation, which involves presenting their cases before a judge. At Trevor Bowles Solicitors, we assist at every stage of the litigation process.

How long does the average personal injury take to resolve?The timeframe for resolving a personal injury claim in Ireland varies significantly, influenced by several factors. If the respondent agrees to the Injuries Resolution Board (PIAB) assessment, the process typically concludes within 7 to 9 months. However, if either party rejects the PIAB's assessment, the case may proceed to court, extending the resolution period to 1 to 3 years. The severity of injuries, the complexity of the case, the cooperation of involved parties, the time required for evidence gathering, and court backlogs all contribute to the overall duration. Consequently, while some claims are resolved relatively swiftly through PIAB, many personal injury cases in Ireland can take between 1 and 3 years to reach a final resolution.
