Mirror Wills for Couples in London
Mirror wills are two separate wills, often used by couples, where each will reflects a similar plan (for example, leaving everything to the other partner first, then to children). They are common, but they’re not “one joint will”.
When mirror wills are a good fit
You broadly want the same structure
You want clarity if one of you dies first
You want to name executors and guardians clearly
IHT: a simple note
There’s generally no IHT on passing homes, or gifts between spouses/civil partners in qualifying situations, which often shapes how couples plan.
(We’ll explain what’s relevant and what isn’t.)
