Karen Walsh: Making a will not the preserve of ‘older’ people

After speaking at a recent Teagasc ‘Transferring the Family Farm’ seminar in Dunmanway, and meeting farmers, the amount of people who do not have a will made always surprises me.

Some seem to think that making a will is something “older people” do.

Frequent excuses are that it may tempt fate, they are too busy, or they do not have enough assets so there is no need. Others feel overwhelmed by the thought of it.
