Free Wills Month Ireland offers members of the public aged 55 and over the opportunity to have their Will written or updated free of charge by using the services of local solicitors in five towns and cities.

Between 1-30 April 2009 participating firms of solicitors in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Waterford and Wexford will be offering their specialist Will-writing services to members of the public.

Please see http://www.freewillsireland.com/ for more details. Please note, Inclusion Ireland produces a guide for parents and families of people with an intellectual disability on making a will.

This guide sets out the particular issues involved with providing by will or inheritance to a person with intellectual disability. It is free of charge and can be forwarded on request, or downloaded at http://www.inclusionireland.ie/publications.asp.
