I'm far from an expert but there must be thousands of wills in motion at any given time and if it was a simple as you are making out we would all know of countless stories of x and y happening, and it would be carnage. Care to share your story

It would damage this forums' reputation

Don't think there is any such thing as Common law wife in Ireland although there are some rights for co habiting couples but are subject to certain conditions. I don't think you write off wills entirely as a 100% income generating scam by solicitors, they do provide cover.

You can't just contest a will because you don't like the way the person who died has divided out their assets. You have to legal grounds for doing so such as there was undue influence or the person who died didn't have the capacity to make a will or didn't understand how the workings of his disposal would work.

And if your family decided to contest it they would have a case and your will would be null and void. Common law wife would potentially cover off your GF there anyway but your will isn't worth pish if someone decides to contest.

I completely disagree. Ignore dividing up a multi million empire and there are some very basic things they cover off. I'm not married and me and the GF bought the house together. I have a will saying that if I die my interest in the house (and everything else) passes to her. If I was to die intestate then my interests pass to my estate who at this point would be my parents. I'm sure there have been cases out there where the parents didn't make life easy for the surviving partner so why not take the hassle out of it and have a will.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking....plus what’s the point of an executor when the solicitor can read out the will??? Also what happens if some members of a family are left more than others,would that not cause murder if it’s been disclosed to all the family members?

Wills are a waste of time when it comes down to it - the law will just take over. I would have everything singed over long before I passed as the people you want to leave everything to could potentially get screwed over.

Does the executor have to disclose how the estate will be divided out between family members? I mean how will a sibling know they got a fair share.

There will be a solicitor alright but the executor is usually a family member or close friend and they can also be a beneficiary.

So I’d imagine that a solicitor is normally the executor of a will?I mean if a family member is the executor and a beneficiary could that not lead to problems?

Only the executor gets a copy of the will. Beneficiaries are notified independently to be made aware of what they have been left. Access to the full will is only made available once probate completes.
There is no formal process for reading a will. That's just Hollywood stuff!
