Services


Kelly and MacGowan Solicitors offer a range of legal services.

 
 

Commercial:

Our commercial department takes instructions from clients who wish to establish or trade under the banner of limited liability.  Our input commences with formal instructions and an estimate of the costs and expenses associated with the project in hand.  More and more businesses are choosing to operate and trade as limited liability companies. The umbrella of limited liability gives the business owner a certain comfort and, in the main shelters family and other assets from the consequences of business failure. 

We can also assist and advise on the legal formalities of recruiting new staff and implementing codes of discipline.

Probate And Wills:

The loss of a loved one should not be heightened by unnecessary legal complications. Such difficulties can be avoided through careful planning and expert legal advice. Careful planning now for the distribution of your estate and assets will provide wealth and security for your future generations.

Our probate and administration department take instructions from clients who wish to make a Will or administer the estates of their deceased relatives and friends.

A valid Will is the cheapest method of controlling and directing future ownership of assets. The restrictions on making a Will are minimal and the benefits gained by the successors in terms of certainty and continuity are invaluable. Every person who owns property owns or runs a business or, who has children under 18 years should make a Will. Those persons in a long-term relationship not based on marriage are particularly vulnerable where one partner dies without a Will.

In the absence of a valid Will, the State through its Succession legislation provides a mechanism for dividing the deceased’s assets.  Following a death, the probate or administration process must take place in which our firm will facilitate.

Our property expertise, combined with an in depth knowledge of Sligo’s Property Market, enables us to respond competently and effectively to the needs of each individual Client.  Furthermore, each transaction is handled in the most tax efficient manner.
