Don’t bequeath a tax and legal disaster: make a will now

This time of year is all about New Year’s resolutions. For my two pence worth, one of the best New Year’s resolutions is to make a will, suggests Keiran Coughlan.

Astonishingly, recent research showed that only 34% of people living in Ireland have made a will.

The research, commissioned by the “MyLegacy” coalition of charities, also showed that only 51% of those aged between 45 and 64 years of age have a will, but 82% of those aged over 65 years have a will.
