You go up with €100 and come down with €200. It works both ways. It is gender balanced in case anyone says there are people who go up with a bit of land and come down with more but that is another day's work. As Jack Lemmon once said, "death ends a life, not a relationship". Certainly when there is a will, there are definitely relations. When there is a will, there is certainly a way. The Registration of Wills Bill will provide a clear statutory basis for the registration of wills by extending the civil registration system, which will enable the person making the will or their solicitor to register details of the custodian of their will, thus reducing the risks of wills remaining unknown or being found belatedly. Am I coming to the end of my time?
