The Probate Settlement Agreement is a crucial document used in Irish estate administration when there is a need to formally document the resolution of actual or potential disputes regarding the distribution of a deceased person's estate. It becomes particularly relevant when beneficiaries have competing claims, when there are questions about the interpretation of a will, or in cases of intestacy where statutory distribution rules apply. The agreement must comply with Irish succession law, particularly the Succession Act 1965, and address tax implications under the Capital Acquisitions Tax Consolidation Act 2003. It typically includes detailed provisions about asset distribution, tax arrangements, releases of claims, and ongoing obligations of the parties. This document is essential for providing certainty and finality in estate administration while minimizing the risk of future litigation.
