The High Court has approved the Irish will of a late US-based priest after a subsequent American will raised an issue about whether his Irish property had been left to his two cousins.
The cousins brought a High Court application, with the American lawyer who drew up the US will as respondent, seeking to have the Irish will declared valid. The court heard the priest made the Irish will in August 2001 and appointed three members of the cousins’ family as executors. The cousins looked after the priest’s land and it was intended it would go to one of them and become part of his farm.
The American lawyer who drew up the US will was unaware of the Irish property and had said the standard revocation clause inserted into that will was not intended to revoke the 2001 Irish will, they said.
