"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.
