How to prepare for writing your will

• Find a solicitor in your area. The Law Society of Ireland has a list of solicitors on www.lawsociety.ie 
• Make a list of all your assets with their approximate value 
• Make a list of all your liabilities 
• Choose who would be the most appropriate person that you would like to look after your financial affairs (your executors). Ensure that the persons you select would be willing to act in that role.
• Consider how you would like your assets divided, bearing in mind your obligations to people who are close to you. 
• Visit your solicitor to discuss your plans and to allow him/her to prepare your will. S/he should advise you in terms of the tax implications of leaving legacies to family, friends or charities. 
• Include a gift to MS Ireland. Your solicitor will write this into your will. 
• Advise MS Ireland that you are leaving us a gift in your will. It will help us to plan for the future and also will give us the opportunity to say thank you!
