Some of the most commonly requested Wills are known as mirror Wills. These are generally requested by married couples or those in a civil partnership. Although these are reasonably straightforward, it is still important to employ the services of Wills solicitors in North Wales to make sure all of the details are legal and correct.
As a general rule of thumb, these sorts of Wills tend to be almost identical and detail how each individual wishes to leave their assets solely to the other in the event of one of their deaths. It is vital to complete these documents especially if two people are not married, since the law states that unmarried people do not automatically inherit their partner’s estate when they die.
Anyone aged eighteen or over who has been deemed to have adequate mental capacity can make a mirror Will. Siblings can make these for each other, as can friends; people do not need to be in a romantic relationship to request this sort of Will from their solicitors.
When mirror Wills are completed, they offer financial security for the remaining recipient and help avoid disputes and confusions when the Will writer dies. Specific wishes can be identified, and this may include leaving particular goods to someone outside the relationship. In the event of divorce or separation, the Wills can be amended or updated by legal experts.
