After a death in Ireland

Redirecting post after a death

What is needed, who to contact, and what happens next.

How to tell them

Apply online or at a post office. For a deceased person the executors must attach probate, or a copy of the will and a letter saying probate has been applied for.

Wait until the executor has the will or probate.

Step by step

  1. Wait until the executor has the will or probate; the application needs one of them.
  2. Apply online or at a post office, attaching probate, or a copy of the will with a letter saying probate has been applied for, or a solicitor's undertaking.
