The Probate Duty (Ireland) Act 1816 (56 Geo. 3. c. 56) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that repealed and consolidated the law relating to stamp duties in Ireland, including the duties charged on probates of wills and letters of administration, replacing three acts of the previous year with a single revised scheme of duties and administration.
Provisions Repealed enactments Section 1 of the act repealed 3 enactments, listed in that section, save in so far as they repealed any former act, and save as to the raising, recovering, allowing or paying, after the commencement of the act, of any arrears of duty or allowances under the repealed acts, and as to proceedings for any offence committed against those acts before the commencement of the act.
