Wills for Two
Separate wills, carefully aligned to reflect your shared intentions.
How Wills for Two work
This service is designed for two people who wish to record their wishes clearly in separate but connected wills. These are often referred to in the industry as mirror wills, meaning each person makes their own will, while the structure and intentions broadly reflect one another.
It focuses on two sets of instructions, without limiting the level of thought, care, or detail involved. A will is simply a way of making sure your wishes are known and that the people you care about are given clarity and reassurance. Wills of this kind can reflect your shared and individual circumstances, while still recording each person’s wishes separately, in a form that can be followed when it is needed.
Where wills involve children, they include clear arrangements for their care and guardianship, so those responsible for them are legally appointed and recorded.
How we work and advise
Working with us is shaped around you — your circumstances, your pace, and how much support you want. Some people come to us already clear about what they want their wills to say and want their instructions reviewed with professional advice before being prepared. Others prefer advice at an earlier stage, with help thinking things through before any drafting begins, either through a conversation or in writing.
All of these approaches include professional advice, but it is given in different ways — from advising on and correcting settled instructions, to guiding decisions through discussion or written feedback. Some people also choose to include a Letter of Wishes, which can be prepared alongside the wills as part of the same process, where appropriate.
Whichever approach you choose, if it becomes clear that further advice or clarification would be helpful for one or both of you before drafting, we will pause and agree next steps together, so each will ultimately reflect its maker’s intentions clearly and safely.

Clear fixed price, agreed from the outset
What’s included in the fixed price
The fixed price shown above covers professional advice on your instructions, drafting your wills, and preparing documents that accurately reflect what each of you has told us. This includes standard provisions such as guardianship clauses where relevant, a straightforward letter of wishes, and an agreed instruction-taking process to ensure each will is prepared carefully and clearly.
Additional services that may apply
Depending on your circumstances, preparing your wills may involve additional legal steps that fall outside the standard fixed price and are not required in every case. For example, this might include creating a trust to balance provision for a surviving partner with protecting assets for children or other beneficiaries, structuring a share of property so it passes in line with your wishes, or changing how jointly owned property is legally held.
In some cases, you may also choose support with signing, secure storage, or registration once your wills are complete.
Where additional services are appropriate, the options and associated fees are explained clearly in advance. Nothing is added without discussion and your agreement.
Looking after your wishes, at a pace that feels right
-
Having wills in place is not about age, wealth, or complexity. It is about making sure your wishes are known and that the people you care about are given clarity and reassurance at an already difficult time.
Wills provide a reliable way for each of you to communicate what matters to you, in a form that can be followed when it is needed. Knowing that your wishes are recorded properly can allow you to move forward with confidence, having taken the time to think things through and make decisions you are comfortable with.
-
Each will can include multiple beneficiaries and carefully considered arrangements that reflect your individual circumstances.
The focus is on recording each person’s instructions clearly, rather than limiting the number of people or arrangements that can be included.
-
Yes. You will both have the opportunity to review your draft wills and request amendments before the final versions are produced.
If any points require clarification, follow-up questions may be raised to ensure that each document reflects the wishes of the person making it accurately.
-
This service is designed for people whose circumstances are relatively straightforward and do not require specialist or ongoing legal advice.
Some situations may need a different or more tailored service, such as those involving business interests, overseas assets, inheritance tax planning, or complex trust arrangements. If this applies to one or both of you, this will be discussed so you can consider the most appropriate
-
This service is suitable for many people, but some family arrangements require more careful consideration.
If your situation involves blended families, estrangement, competing expectations, or other complexities, this can be discussed so that you can consider whether a different or more tailored approach would be more appropriate.
-
A letter of wishes is a separate, informal document that sits alongside a will. It allows you to explain your personal wishes in your own words — for example, how you would like your estate to be handled, or guidance for executors or guardians.
It is not legally binding in the same way as a will, but it can provide helpful context and reassurance to those dealing with your affairs.
When you write wills with us, a letter of wishes is included as a free additional add-on, if you would like one.
-
No. Mirror wills and joint wills are different things.
With mirror wills, each person makes their own separate will. The two wills are often similar in structure or intention, but each one stands on its own and can be changed independently.
A joint will is a single document made by two people together, which is much less common and can be restrictive. We do not prepare joint wills. Our approach is always to ensure that each person’s wishes are recorded clearly and separately.
-
Yes. Even where wills broadly reflect one another, each will is prepared individually and can include different instructions if needed.
This means you can make different gifts, appoint different executors, or include different provisions where your circumstances or wishes are not the same. We take care to ensure that each will accurately reflects the intentions of the person making it, while still working cohesively where appropriate.
Wills are prepared with care and reviewed to ensure they accurately reflect your instructions.
If you’re unsure which approach feels right, or you’d like to talk through your situation before choosing, you’re very welcome to get in touch. We can look at your options together and help you decide on the best way forward — at your pace.
