Enduring Power of Attorney in Ireland

February 16, 2026

Paddy Delaney

In this week's podcast -

We can spend decades building our wealth, protecting our families, and planning for retirement. But there's one question most people avoid until it's too late: what happens if you can't make decisions for yourself?

Suffer a stroke, dementia, or a serious accident or illness, and life can change in an instant. Without the right legal framework in place, your family could face months (or more) of stress, legal battles, and uncertainty at the worst possible time. In Ireland, the decision-making supports system exists to prevent exactly this scenario, yet many people have never heard of it.

If you have assets (of any sort) that you believe are worth protecting, someone depending on you, or simply want control over your future care, this is one of the most important conversations you'll ever have!

I hope it helps!
