Joint Wills

Joint Wills, or Mirror Wills as they are also commonly known, are used by a husband and wife or partners who wish to leave everything to each other, or to each other and their children.

When each partner dies under the Joint Will, their property and assets go to the other partner and then, on their death, to any children that they have. If there are no children, then any property and assets shall pass to a named beneficiary. Generally each partner will be the other's executor and sole beneficiary.

It is not uncommon for people to re-marry. A Will containing gifts for an ex -partner will automatically be amended, as though that person had died, upon your re-marrying or entering into a civil partnership with someone else. 

In some instances the spouse or partner creating a Joint Will may wish to leave everything to a child or children rather than  to their partner. When this happens in a Joint Will, the estate will be tied up until the surviving spouse has also passed away. This means that the children cannot take possession of the property until the surviving partner has died.

For example, a divorced father may allow the divorcee mother of his children to live in the house that he owns after his death, if it is stated in the Joint Will that the property shall go to the child or children equally.

Using our Joint Will Templates

When you have a Will you must make sure you update to reflect important changes in your life, to ensure that its legality is not compromised.

Our standard Joint Will template can be re-used so that if you wish to amend it or create a new Will at any time in the future, you can do so without incurring the cost of purchasing a new Will. Our free online document storage facility on our website means you can edit and store your Wills online.

Clauses in our Joint Will Templates

Our Joint Will Template contains identical, mirrored provisions in each Will so that each partner gifts their property to the other on their death and to any children after both their deaths, if applicable.
