Farming Legal Advice: The importance of making a Will

The Succession Act provides that irrespective of the terms of a Will a spouse is entitled to a specific share in an estate.

Dear Karen

I am in my 40’s and I have no will made. My husband also has no will made and won’t even talk about making a Will or death. He thinks it might tempt fate. However, I came from a family where there was a massive fallout over an estate where no Will was left by my uncle and some family members still don’t talk to one another which makes me sad. I have three children and they all get along and I want to set out my wishes on paper in the hope it might ease the burden for them after I am gone. I am worried about the cost. Is it expensive? What kind of information should I bring with me when I meet a solicitor? What is involved?
