Solicitor application

Step 1 - Compile documents

Before beginning the application process, you must gather all the necessary documentation.   

A critical first step is to provide information to Revenue about the deceased’s assets. Ensure you complete the Revenue online Statement of Affairs (SA.2) or Inland Revenue Affidavit (further details below).  

It's crucial to submit a complete set of documents. Incomplete applications will not be accepted and will be returned by the Probate Office or District Probate Registry.
