01 / The challenge

Complex information, encountered at a difficult time.

Navigating probate in Ireland is both legally intricate and emotionally taxing for bereaved families and executors.

Traditional legal resources are often dense, jargon-laden and difficult to read on mobile screens, leaving people anxious and unsure of the next step.

02 / The approach

Make each decision feel manageable.

01

Plain-English content

Procedural jargon was replaced with clear, empathetic explanations of what may apply and what to do next.

02

Progressive disclosure

The six-step Probate Plan presents one question at a time, reducing cognitive overload at a difficult moment.

03

One clear next step

Competing actions were removed so each screen gives the user an immediate and understandable priority.

04

Restrained, trust-led design

Soft tones, legible typography and measured language create reassurance without aggressive sales prompts.

03 / The result

A live public platform built around reassurance and action.

Prob8.ie helps Irish executors and families understand what may apply to their situation, gather key information and documents, and confidently begin a Probate Plan.
