Check which will is right for you

Explore varying levels of protection and flexibility with different types of wills. Utilize our interactive tool to discover the option that perfectly aligns with your needs.​

Single will

A single will outlines how your assets are distributed after death, ensuring your wishes are followed. It appoints executors to manage your estate and can include guardianship provisions for minor children..

Trust will

A trust will creates a trust after death, managed by a trustee to control asset distribution for beneficiaries, offering protection, tax efficiency, and flexibility, especially for minors or vulnerable individuals.

Mirror wills

A mirror will is a pair of nearly identical wills, typically made by spouses or partners, leaving assets to each other and naming the same beneficiaries. It ensures both parties' wishes are aligned for estate distribution.

 

What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?

A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you (the ‘donor’) appoint one or more people (known as ‘attorneys’) to help you make decisions or to make decisions on your behalf.

This gives you more control over what happens to you if you have an accident or an illness and cannot make your own decisions (you ‘lack mental capacity’).
