What Are Mirror Wills?
Mirror Wills are two separate but nearly identical wills, usually created by couples. They ensure consistent and clear instructions for the distribution of your assets, reducing potential conflicts and aligning with intestacy laws.
Typically, Mirror Wills:
-
Leave everything to each other while both are alive.
-
Designate the same beneficiaries, such as children or stepchildren, to inherit after both partners pass.
-
Can include provisions for guardianship of children.
-
Support Lasting Powers of Attorney, ensuring decisions are made by trusted individuals if either partner loses mental capacity.
We strongly recommend seeking independent legal and inheritance tax advice before finalizing your estate plan to address all financial and tax implications.
How Do Mirror Wills Work?
-
Initial Consultation: We begin with a friendly conversation to understand your family, assets, and wishes.
-
Drafting Your Wills: We prepare Mirror Wills for both partners, ensuring your shared intentions and specific instructions are accurately documented.
-
Review and Sign: You review the drafts and suggest any changes. Once satisfied, you sign the documents.
-
Updates When Needed: Life changes—new children, property purchases, or other milestones. We help you keep your wills up to date accordingly.
