"Make A Will Week"

It should be emphasised that the aim of the campaign is not to generate business for solicitors, but to ensure that a far higher percentage of the people who ought to make wills do so. One of the advertisements, which will be featured in National and Local Newspapers, is printed on p. 156. In addition, there will be a major programme of television and radio advertising directed at encouraging people to make wills. The Law Society, concerned at the high number of intestacies in Ireland, is to mount a major campaign in November 1982 to encourage people to make wills.

Recent figures show that over 42% of grants issued by the Probate Offices are in intestate cases. That so high a percentage of people who had sufficient assets tojustify the taking out of a grant to administer their estates had notmade a will is remarkable. The particular aim of the "Make a Will Week" cam- paign will be to encourage married couples, particularly those with young children, to make wills. The co-operation of members of the profession in making themselves avail- able to take instructions from members of the public who take the advice which will be given in the campaign is essential to the success of the campaign.
