Irish probate?

HOPEFUL

Hi - I am a UK resident, a relative recently passed away in Ireland I had a joint survivorship account with.
I have to get an IT8 clearance certificate from their revenue to free up the account. Can I do this myself or do I have to engage an Irish solicitor?

You might get a response if you post this on the Northern Ireland Board.

Form I.T. 8 Clearance Letter

[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]

This is a letter of clearance issued in respect of bank deposit accounts held in joint names. It is a statutory requirement (Section 109 CATCA 2003) for access to bank accounts (except current accounts) having a balance at date of death greater than €50,000, which are held in joint names (other than monies held in the joint names of the deceased and his or her spouse).
The form IT8 clearance letter may be obtained by completing form CA4.
