Mirror Will Writing | Wills & Probate

What is a mirror will?

Mirror wills are made when two people make wills reflecting the terms of the other – for example, a husband and wife may make wills that leave everything to each other on the first death and then everything to their children on the survivor’s death.

With mirror wills, each person has their own will and is free to change it at any time they may wish. Any change to a mirror will does not require the consent of the other person.

There are circumstances in which a mirror will may not suit a couple – for example, if there are children from a previous marriage/relationship or if there is a concern that the survivor may change their will after the first party has died and, therefore, disinherit the chosen beneficiaries. It is, therefore, essential that you take professional advice to ensure that your needs will be met and the best will is drawn up for your circumstances.

We offer fixed fees for drafting wills and home visits are available. Alternatively, call our Doncaster solicitors at 01302 341414 or our Sheffield solicitors at 0114 272 1884. Our friendly team will be happy to have a chat with you.

Met with Clare to instruct on renewal of existing will and instigate an LPA for future use, if required! Clare is a lovely lady who gave up a lot of her valued time to go through events as needed. Nothing was too much trouble and she did not rush over issues. Draft copies were returned for authoristation prompt also. Peace of mind is now in place. Thank you Clare for your services.

Following an appointment with Clare Wyett over the production of new wills and Lasting Power of Attorney, I would just like to add that Clare was very knowledgeable and gave us an excellent service with professional advice and input where needed, along with keeping us fully informed along the way. I would strongly recommend their services to anyone requiring professional legal help.

"I have recently sold my property in Liverpool and Peter Caswell at Taylor Bracewell Solicitos acted on my behalf and he was outstanding. This was a very difficult sale due to the fact that the other party's solicitors was excessive in their demand and clearly ignorant but Peter was very patient during what ended up being a long drawn out process. Peter maintained professionalism..."
