Decide who benefits
Set out who you want to inherit and how you want your estate to be distributed.
Wills & Mirror Wills
Make sure your wishes are clear
A properly drafted will gives you control over what happens to your estate and helps make sure the people you care about receive what you intended.
Why make a will?
Put your wishes in writing
Without a valid will, your estate is distributed according to intestacy rules rather than according to instructions you've chosen yourself.
Choose your executors
Name the people you trust to deal with your estate and carry out the instructions in your will.
Protect the people you care about
Make clear provision for family members and other people important to you.
Deal with property and possessions
Record how you want particular assets, possessions or specific gifts to be dealt with.
Make things clearer
Clear instructions can make it easier for the people dealing with your affairs at an already difficult time.
Keep your arrangements up to date
Your will can be reviewed if your family, property or circumstances change.
Mirror Wills
Similar wishes, separate wills
Mirror wills are commonly used by couples whose wishes are broadly the same. Each person still has their own separate will, but the documents can contain similar instructions.
Are mirror wills right for us?
They may be suitable where both people want broadly similar arrangements, for example leaving their estate to each other first and then to chosen beneficiaries.
Your circumstances should still be considered individually. We'll talk through what you want before recommending the appropriate approach.
