IRELAND PROBATE in the UK
Although, Probate in Ireland is very similar to that of the UK, with the Irish High Court issuing a Grant of probate or grant of letters of administration, Ireland is not a recognised country under the Colonial Probate Act, this means that an Irish Grant of probate cannot be resealed in the UK. Given this, a fresh application in the UK will be required, for the persons appointed by the Irish Courts to make the application, this will typically be the executor named in the will, or the next of kin
