Quick Facts

The person creating the will (the testator) needs to complete this form while they have mental capacity.
The form captures details about who is appointed as the attorney and outlines the specific powers granted for administering the will.
This form should be completed and signed before the person loses mental capacity, as it cannot be created once capacity is lost.
The form should be submitted to the Courts Service of Ireland, likely through a solicitor who can ensure proper witnessing and legal requirements are met.
Errors in execution could render the power of attorney invalid when needed most, potentially leaving your estate without proper administration.
Complete all sections with accurate information about yourself and your chosen attorney. Have the form properly witnessed by a qualified person as required by Irish law. Keep copies for all parties involved.
