The dead man's former home.

Who's property is it now?

Who's property is it now?

I'd guess the man was intestate, so I'd hazard a guess at it being returned to the state. That is unless the son can come up with a reasonable sob story, and support from Sinn-IRA guaranteeing him a Trap house for less than €40 a week.

If he is a promising footballer he might have a chance with the Honourable Judge?

[Rat Catcher]

If he's intestate does his estate not automatically go to his oldest son?

Probably a council house?

I'll look up the Succession Act and get back to you. In the meantime:https://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1965/act/27/enacted/en/html

No, it gets complicated if intestate, with prob most of what you have going to people you don't wish to give to.

Best to make a will, I did mine last year, the majoriy of it done over the phone, only cost a ton.

Intestate is messy, the Probate Office will require Affidavit of Attesting Witness from all children agreeing if one child is to receive probate or if it`s shared equally or otherwise.
Otherwise it ends up in Probate Court to be ruled on.

Tell me about it, Bubba. I spent the last five years in court fighting a brother so that my sister got her equal share of a four-way split of the inheritance.

You'd think you can't screw up a four-way split...well you certainly can.
