Wills for two — written together, naming who raises your children
Mirror wills let you and your partner set out the same wishes — for each other, and for your children — in one guided process, answered together. Including the question most couples put off longest: who would raise them if neither of you could. £229 for both wills, registration and a year of Will Watch included. England & Wales.
Mirror wills are two separate wills with matching terms — typically each partner leaving everything to the other, then to the children. Each will stands on its own; either of you can change yours later. It is not one shared document, and that difference matters more than it sounds.
The question a court will ask, if you never do.
It is the single most consequential sentence most parents will ever put in a legal document.
If both of you died and no will names a guardian, a court decides who raises your children. Under the Children Act 1989 (s.5), relatives can apply, wishes can be argued about, and the person you'd never have chosen can be the one with the strongest paper case.
The decision arrives at the worst possible moment, without the clear written appointment you could have left. Naming a guardian in your wills gives your choice legal form — recorded in the place the court and your family will look first.
For many couples it's the actual reason the wills finally get written. The guided process asks it plainly , explains what the choice means, and lets you name a reserve.
What £229 includes.
Included-item grid, four parts — the same price whichever way you look at it.
Guided together, with clear execution guidance so the signing and witnessing is done right.
With the National Will Register — so the wills can be found when they're needed.
The annual prompt that checks your wills still match your lives (marriage, moves, births, the lot). A renewal price of £8.99/yr each has been agreed for year two onward — no auto-charge, nothing to cancel.
Your answers are screened for the situations a simple mirror will doesn't fit (trusts needed, foreign property, blended-family shapes, business assets). Answered together, checked together — if your situation needs a professional, we say so before you pay, and route it.
