Consumer Rights & Property Expert, Sinead Ryan, shares what she will be talking about on the day: “I will be talking about the area of wills, inheritance and the Fair Deal Scheme because these are things that I get asked all the time. I will be dealing with the family queries people have whether it’s to do with property, farms, cash, pensions, all that kind of thing. It’s really trying to prepare people for later in life, how to manage their money, what things are likely to cost and how we can best utilise the state supports that are there.”
