Mirror Wills
What Is a Mirror Will?
Mirror Wills are two separate legal wills created for couples whose wishes are broadly the same. Typically, each partner leaves their estate to the other and names the same beneficiaries, such as children or grandchildren, should they both pass away.
Although the documents are very similar, each Mirror Will remains an individual legal document and can be updated if your circumstances change in the future.
Why Choose Mirror Wills?
Mirror Wills offer reassurance that your loved ones will be cared for and that your estate will be distributed according to your wishes. They're particularly suitable for:
-
Married couples
-
Civil partners
-
Couples living together
-
Parents with young children
-
Homeowners
-
Families wanting to protect their assets

Anyone planning for the future

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Mirror Will and a Joint Will?
Mirror Wills are two separate legal documents with similar terms, allowing each person to update their own will if circumstances change. Joint Wills are much less common and create a single legal document shared by two people.
Are Mirror Wills suitable for unmarried couples?
Yes. Mirror Wills can be an excellent option for couples who live together, although it's particularly important for unmarried couples to have wills in place, as partners don't automatically inherit under the rules of intestacy.
Can Mirror Wills be changed?
Yes. Because each Mirror Will is a separate legal document, either person can update or replace their own will if their circumstances or wishes change.
