The week runs from Monday 17th to Friday 21st October 2011. Best Will in the World will encourage the general public to visit a local participating solicitor to have a will drawn up or changed and to consider leaving a legacy to their favourite charity. My Legacy’s website has a list of participating solicitors throughout Ireland. ## Advertisement Through the Best Will in the World Week people will be able to benefit from professional, impartial advice on their will for €50, and My Legacy hope that at the same time people will select their favourite charity as a beneficiary. The message that My Legacy is promoting is that leaving a legacy is a simple, a fulfilling experience and anyone can do it. My Legacy was established in 2003 by a small group of Irish charities who wished to spread the word about charitable bequests. Since then consortium has grown and now represents over 60 leading Irish charities and not-for-profit organisations. Legacy Promotion Ireland is open to all Irish charities and not-for-profit organisations. The My Legacy website provides independent information to individuals, charities and solicitors about leaving legacies to charities. www.mylegacy.ie * **[Tax changes may have caused big drop in donations in Ireland](https://fundraising.co.uk/2011/10/13/tax-changes-may-have-caused-big-drop-donations-ireland/)**( 13 October 2011) * **[Irish charities consortium launches tax-effective giving campaign](https://fundraising.co.uk/2012/01/06/irish-charities-consortium-launches-taxeffective-giving-campaign/)**( 6 January 2012) * **[Three party leaders make the Legacy10 pledge to leave a charitable legacy](https://fundraising.co.uk/2012/01/16/three-party-leaders-make-legacy10-pledge-leave-charitable-legacy/)**( 16 January 2012)
