What’s included in a standard single or mirror will?
You can appoint executors, guardians for children and say who you want to inherit your estate. You can include basic funeral wishes and say who you would like to look after your pets. A standard will includes up to three specific gifts of personal items or cash sums.
If you wish to include trusts, make additional or complex gifts, or the nature of your circumstances (including business ownership or foreign assets) requires extra advice, additional costs will be discussed with you on a no-obligation basis.
What is a mirror will?
A mirror will is a pair of wills made by married or cohabiting couples who want to make their wills together and want the content of their wills to be the same. It is called a mirror will because the contents are virtually identical – they reflect each other.
Making a mirror will with your spouse does not mean you cannot change your will in the future.
Will Trusts
You can include trusts in your will to have greater control over inheritance and/or protection from third parties e.g. if your spouse remarries after your death, rewrites his/her will, needs care etc. The fees below are in addition to our standard will prices. Trusts can vary in complexity. These fees are an indication of our typical prices.
