Straightforward wills: If you're aged 18 or above, and you wish to leave your estate and/or gifts to your loved ones. Mirror wills: These are two almost identical will documents. If you're married, in a civil partnership, or an unmarried couple and have similar wishes about what should be included in your wills then mirror wills may be the answer. When one of the parties dies then everything commonly passes to the other person. Provisions are generally put in place about how the estate should be distributed after both parties have passed away. Will trust: Sometimes it may be beneficial to have a testamentary trust written into your will. With a will trust you can protect your property and other assets you wish to pass on to your loved ones. Will trusts are also a way to provide for children and ensure vulnerable loved ones are taken care of when you die. A trustee is nominated to manage the trust on behalf of the people who stand to benefit, known as the beneficiaries, for the lifetime of the trust. Setting up a trust will can be quite complex. We can help you keep it simple. Living wills: With a living will (also known as Advanced Decisions) provided you have mental capacity you can give directions about the medical treatment you wish to accept or refuse. For example, this may be influenced by religious or other values and beliefs or you may want to determine how far treatment should go if your condition is declared 'terminal'.
