How much does it cost to make a will in Ireland?
The cost of making a will in Ireland depends on the service you choose and the support you need.
There is no fixed national fee for a solicitor to prepare a will. Citizens Information recommends asking for quotes and checking what each service includes.
Some Irish legal service guides suggest that a straightforward will prepared by a solicitor may cost around €150 to €400. The price may be lower or higher depending on the firm, the service and your circumstances.
Willable's Core Plan costs €79.
You can start for free, review your draft and choose whether to pay when you feel ready.

Solicitor fees can vary. Irish commercial pricing guides suggest that a straightforward solicitor-prepared will may cost around €150–€400.
This is an indicative range only, not a national average.
Willable is designed for people with relatively straightforward circumstances in Ireland.
Look beyond the price
Price matters, but it is not the only thing to consider.
You may also want to think about appointments, travel, time away from work, the support included and how easy it is to make changes.

The right choice depends on your circumstances, not price alone.
Make your will around your life
Making a will matters. Finding time for it is not always easy.
A traditional service may involve contacting firms, comparing quotes and arranging an office visit or scheduled call. You may need to fit those appointments around work, family and other commitments.
With Willable, you can start from home whenever it suits you. There is no appointment to arrange, and you do not need to complete everything in one sitting.
- Start online whenever you are ready
- Use your phone, tablet or computer
- Complete it from home
- Work on it during the evening or weekend
- Pause whenever you need to
- Sign in and continue on another supported device
Take your time with each decision
Your will includes choices that deserve careful thought. You do not need to decide everything at once.
You may want time to consider:
- Who should act as your executor
- Who you would trust to care for your children
- Who should receive what you leave behind
- Whether you would like to leave particular gifts
- What should happen if someone named in your will is no longer living
- Whether your circumstances would benefit from personal legal advice
An executor is the person you choose to carry out the instructions in your will.
With Willable, you can pause, talk things through with your partner or family and return when you are ready.
Your progress is saved, so you can complete your will over more than one session.
Review your draft before you pay
You can explore the process and see your draft before spending anything.
- Create your free account
Set up your account without entering card details.
- Answer the guided questions
Tell us about you, the people you care about and what you would like to happen.
- Review and update your draft
Read through your draft and change your answers as often as you need.
- Pay only when you are ready
Purchase the Core Plan when you are happy with your draft and want to access your completed document.
No credit card is needed to start.
Make changes without another appointment
Your decisions may change while you are preparing your will.
With Willable, you can return to your draft, update your answers and review the revised document before paying.
After purchasing the Core Plan, you can continue to update your will online for up to one year.
When you make a change, download the newest version. You will then need to print, sign and witness it correctly.
Changing your answers online does not change a version you have already signed.
Life changes, and your will may need to change with it.
You may want to review it after:
- The birth or adoption of a child
- Choosing a different executor
- Choosing a different guardian
- Moving home
- A change in your relationship
- Changing who receives something from you
- Changing a gift
Some major changes may need personal advice from a solicitor.
What is included for €79?
The Willable Core Plan includes:
- A guided online will builder
- Questions written in plain English
- Questions about children and guardians where relevant
- The option to choose your executors
- The option to leave particular gifts
- Choices for sharing what remains
- The ability to save and return
- Draft review before payment
- A downloadable will PDF after purchase
- Clear signing and witnessing instructions
- A secure customer account
- Online updates for up to one year
A beneficiary is a person or organisation you choose to receive something through your will.
Willable prepares documents from the answers you provide. It does not give advice tailored to your personal circumstances.
Why can Willable cost less?
Willable uses a guided online process for people with relatively straightforward circumstances.
You enter your own information, work through clear questions and review your draft online.
A solicitor's service may include meetings, personal advice, tailored drafting and a professional review of your individual situation. It is a different type of service.
Guided online service
Complete the questions online without arranging a routine appointment.
Structured will preparation
We use your answers to prepare a will based on the choices available in the Willable service.
Clear boundaries
We explain what Willable supports and when personal legal advice may be a better option.
When should I speak to a solicitor?
Willable is designed for relatively straightforward circumstances in Ireland.
Some situations need advice based on your personal circumstances. Consider speaking with a solicitor if:
- You own a business or farm
- You own property outside Ireland
- You need a specialist trust
- A beneficiary needs additional support
- You have a blended family with different interests to consider
- You want to leave out someone who may have rights under Irish law
- You believe someone may challenge your will
- There are questions about whether someone fully understands or is freely making their decisions
- You need tax or inheritance planning advice
- You are unsure whether Willable supports your situation
A solicitor can review your circumstances and give personal advice that an online document service cannot provide.

Tell us about you, your family, your executors and how you want your estate distributed.

Pay when you are ready
When you are happy with your draft, pay €79 to access your completed will.
Print, sign and witness
Download and print your will. We will guide you through signing it correctly and asking the right people to witness it.
Free to start. No card needed. Pay only when you are ready to access your completed will.
Citizens Information confirms that there is no fixed national solicitor fee for preparing a will and recommends obtaining quotations and comparing what is included.
The €150–€400 solicitor-cost figure used on this page is an indicative range published by Irish commercial legal-services guides. It is not an official national average, statutory fee or comprehensive market survey.
Willable is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. It is a document automation platform that helps users prepare a will using guided templates designed for Irish law.
A will must be printed, signed and witnessed correctly. Its legal effect depends on the document, the person's circumstances and compliance with applicable law. Seek advice from a qualified solicitor where circumstances are complex or uncertain.
