Farm & Agricultural Law Services
Everything below is farm work first: each service is shaped around the realities of Irish farming families — the folio, the yard, the entitlements, the successor and the generations on either side of the transfer.
Farm Transfer & Succession Planning
Deeds of transfer, rights of residence and support, transfer sequencing, and co-ordination with your accountant on the reliefs your family intends to claim. Led by Richard O’Shea TEP.
Farm Wills & Probate
Wills designed around a farming estate, provision for non-farming children, intestacy, Section 117 claims and full administration of agricultural estates through probate.
Agricultural Land Sales & Purchases
Farm conveyancing from contract to registration: folio and map checks, rights of way, wells and wayleaves, entitlements, tenancies and boundary issues.
