My understanding is that the grant of probate is what triggers the CAT liability. Why would anybody have a CAT liability before the grant issues? What would happen if nobody applied for a grant of probate?
I'm with mf on this.
If you were worried about your health, you'd see a doctor.
DIY probate is fine if you're comfortable with it and on a personal note I found it a great help in coping with the grief of losing someone I loved.
But if you find it difficult then get some professional help.
That's a very subjective question.
I didn't find it particularly 'difficult' but it does take a certain set of skills. You've already said that you are feeling overwhelmed.
I'd recommend doing some reading, you can start with citizens information (but bear in mind it's not always accurate); then look at the probate section on courts.ie and also revenue.ie for information on the CA24 which you need to complete.
Who is the executor named in your Grandmother's will?
You'll get a solicitor to do the probate for you for around €4,000. Some will do it for less particularly if you're also using them for the house sale. You might get a solicitor to do both for between €6,000 and €8,000. I'm sure that others on AAM will say that you could get it even cheaper but be careful what you wish for. Personal probate application can be very straightforward if it's a simple uncomplicated estate. Doing it yourself means you will be very proactive in sorting through your Nans records rather than reacting to a solicitors requests for information. Either way it's you will be doing all the sorting through papers and records. However, it might be a reassurance to your mother to know that a professional is handling it and as a result it will also be less of a worry for you.I'm just a bit overwhelmed by all of this CAT stuff and I'm meant to be the clever one in the family, which is why my mum is asking me to help her find out the relevant info.
