Suzanne ParkerHOST
Explain to people maybe what exactly that is and what's entailed in putting that together.

Donna O'DriscollGUEST
So there are two documents that, uh, uh, that I, I suppose that I would look for and that the solicitor on the other side would look for to be completed at the very beginning, and those documents are an affidavit of means.

Donna O'DriscollGUEST
So an affidavit of means is where you set out everything that affects your family financially.

Donna O'DriscollGUEST
So you put in all your assets, whether they be a car, a bank account, a family home, and you'd put in all your liabilities, so any debts you have, such as credit card or loans, and then you would put in, um, I suppose, uh, anything to do with your pension, if you pension, what the pen- what the pension is, and then you would also put in your day-to-day expenses.

Donna O'DriscollGUEST
So the affidavit of means, uh, um, my client would draft or fill in an affidavit of means and give me all the supporting documentation, as we call vouchers.
