Q What Is The Difference Between A Mirror Will And A Single Will

A: When you think about the word ‘mirror’, naturally the thoughts of reflection come to mind. A Mirror Will, will reflect the wishes of a particular Will.
To break it down further:

‍
A single Will is a Will for an individual. Single Wills are not designed to be used for couples who want to have similar clauses in their Wills.

‍
Mirror Wills are designed for couples to make life easier. These are two separate Wills which would set out the same wishes for couples in their Wills, so a husband, wife or partner would make (almost) alike Wills, hence the term ‘mirror’ is used. One Will is to be signed by one spouse and the other Will by the other spouse. These two Wills essentially mirror what the other says.
‍

Note that it is possible to make minor difference between the two Wills, if required.
