Wills & Probate

No! The law is you must make one will each. If you are married or living together then people often make identical wills with their names reversed (mirror or mutual wills). You need to decide whether your wills can be revoked in the future, or are set in stone from now on. You also need to think about what property will be included; if you own a house as joint tenants it cannot be included in the will. If you want to shares in the house to another person, you must register at the Land Registry as tenants in common and include special provisions in your will.
