About this template
This mirror wills kit gives each partner their own will template, drafted so the two documents mirror each other: typically everything to the surviving partner first, then to children or other chosen beneficiaries. Each will is legally separate and signed by one person, which is exactly how English law treats couples' wills.
Alongside the two templates you get a couples planning worksheet, a guide to the scenarios couples ask about most (children, second marriages, jointly owned property), and full witnessing instructions. Each will must be signed in front of two witnesses under the Wills Act 1837, and your partner cannot be your witness.
The guide also explains the difference between mirror wills and mutual wills, and why the joint tenants versus tenants in common distinction decides whether your share of the home passes under your will at all. If you need binding mutual obligations or trust structures, see a solicitor instead.
This may not be right for you if…
- •Estates needing trusts or specialist IHT planning
- •Cohabiting couples (see our dedicated Cohabiting Couples Will Kit WS-003 for tailored guidance)
In these cases, we recommend speaking to a solicitor.
Questions about this kit
Does marriage revoke my Will?+
Yes. Under s18 Wills Act 1837, marriage usually revokes an existing Will unless the Will expressly states it is made 'in contemplation of' that marriage. We cover this in the guide.
Are mirror wills legally binding on the surviving partner?+
No, and this is one of the most important things couples need to understand. Mirror Wills are two separate Wills that happen to mirror each other. After the first partner dies, the survivor can change their Will entirely. If you want legally binding mutual obligations, you need a Mutual Will Deed, a different, more complex arrangement that requires a solicitor.
We own property together, does a Will control who inherits it?+
Only if you own the property as tenants in common (not joint tenants). If you hold it as joint tenants, the property passes to the surviving owner automatically by right of survivorship, regardless of what your Will says. The kit includes a plain-English explainer on this important distinction.
