Free writing service – types of wills

Our free online will writing service covers the most common types of will used in England and Wales:

Single will — a will for one person, covering your estate, your chosen beneficiaries, your executor, and any specific gifts you want to leave. Suitable for anyone making a will independently, whether single, married or in a relationship. Find out more in our Single Wills guide.

Mirror wills — two separate wills made by a couple that reflect each other’s wishes. Each partner leaves their estate to the other, with the same backup arrangements if one of you dies first. Mirror wills are the standard arrangement for couples in England and Wales and are far more flexible than a joint will. Find out more in our Mirror Wills guide.

Joint wills — a single document signed by two people. Joint wills are rarely recommended in England and Wales as they can create legal complications for the surviving partner — in most cases mirror wills are a better option. If you’re considering a joint will, it’s worth understanding the differences before you proceed. Find out more in our Joint Wills guide.
