So.. just some of the reasons to make a Will and enduring power of attorney. Always seek professional advice. Our award winning team at O’Connell Brennan Solicitors, Dublin are fully operational during the Covid-19 restrictions. https://t.co/1bCofEzePL #whymakeawill

Another aspect of estate planning is an enduring power of attorney. You can appoint someone as your attorney to manage your affairs if you lose decision-making capacity. The process is straightforward and avoids complexity for your family in the future. #whymakeawill

If you aren’t married to your partner, or civil partners, you have no automatic rights of inheritance from each other. Making a Will is crucial to provide security for each other. #whymakeawill

If you own property abroad, making a Will means you know what rules will apply to the inheritance, it might not the same as under Irish law, but you can elect to apply Irish law to EU assets.

If you have children from previous relationships, careful Will planning avoids disputes and ensures fairness. #whymakeawill

Making a Will is a crucial aspect of planning for business owners, aiming for a smooth transition to the next generation. Careful planning reaps rewards. #whymakeawill

[O'Connell Brennan @oconnellbrennan]

Making a Will enables you to take account of the inheritance tax aspects of your estate planning and consider any reliefs or exemptions that might be available, including possible exemption from tax on your family home. #whymakeawill

[O'Connell Brennan @oconnellbrennan]

Having children, or indeed grandchildren, is an excellent time to make a Will, incorporating a trust to provide for minor children and appointing testamentary guardians of your children. #whymakeawill

[O'Connell Brennan @oconnellbrennan]

A Will enables you to take account of the individual needs of your family, including beneficiaries with special needs who may need tailored provision. #whymakeawill

[O'Connell Brennan @oconnellbrennan]

Making a Will leaves the control in your hands, it’s your decision how your assets will pass. Otherwise the Succession Act provisions apply on intestacy. That might not be what you want. #whymakeawill

[O'Connell Brennan @oconnellbrennan]

If you have time on your hands, why not give some thought to your estate planning? It’s never too early, or too late.. and it is usually straightforward. Here are some reasons why #whymakeawill
