MAKING A WILL - WHERE TO START
The idea of making a will may make us feel uncomfortable but it is a surprisingly simple and inexpensive process. Once it’s done, it can bring great peace of mind to you and your loved ones. It is also a unique chance to provide for those causes closest to our heart and leave a lasting contribution.
If you have already made a will, it’s easy to change this to include a legacy to MS Ireland. This change is called a Codicil and can be drawn up easily by your solicitor.
