Gifts to your spouse or civil partner In Ireland a spouse or civil partner has a legal right to half of your estate if there are no children or a third if there are children. If you leave less than this they can choose to accept the specific (lesser) gift in your will or claim their legal right.

How is your estate shared? When you pass away your funeral expenses and any debts are paid out of your estate first. Any gifts you left in the previous step are distributed next. In this step you choose how the remainder of your estate will be shared amongst your beneficiaries.

How would you like the rest of your estate to be shared?

You have only added one beneficiary so the remainder of your estate will go to this person only. You can directly move on to the next step. If someone is missing from this list, go back to add them.

You can change the repartition as long as the total is exactly 100%.
