In a Single Will, you can:

• Specify who you would like to care for any children (known as Guardians)
• Name who (including any charities) you want to leave your assets to after you die (known as Beneficiaries)
• Provide details of any specific possessions you want to leave to people
• Specify any inheritance for your children

Mirror Wills – Make a Will with Someone Else

Mirror Wills are two wills, usually made by couples, whose terms reflect each other. They are used if two people want the same people (or charities) to benefit when they die. Normally, Mirror Wills specify that when the first person dies, the estate passes onto the survivor. Then, when that person dies, the Wills specify who would benefit next (or who would benefit if both parties die together).

Mirror Wills often cost less than making two separate Single Wills.

Trust Wills

You may want to include a Trust (a type of legal structure) in your Will. Different Trust Wills are suitable for different circumstances. We are able to help with Discretionary Trust Wills, Property Trust Wills and Life Interest Trust Wills.
