Codicil appointing substitute executor on death of executor

However, you cannot use this document if your Will already has five codicils associated with it. In these circumstances, we recommend that you draft a new Will.
Codicil making an additional gift to an existing beneficiary

This 'Codicil' allows you to add another gift to a beneficiary already named in your Will, leaving the rest of the Will unchanged. However, you cannot use this document if your Will already has five codicils associated with it. In these circumstances, we recommend that you draft a new Will.

Codicil revoking gift to one and giving to another

If you would like to cancel a gift (either of a specific item or of money) to one person in your Will and give either that gift (or an entirely different gift) to someone else, this document is suitable for your needs. No other clauses will be altered in your Will. Please be aware that you cannot use this document if your Will already has five codicils associated with it. In these circumstances, we recommend that you draft a new Will.
Codicil revoking or changing choice of executor

If you would like to remove or replace an executor named in your Will, this codicil is suitable for your needs. Other than this change, all other parts of your Will remain the same.

Living Will

A 'Living Will' lets you specify in writing your wishes regarding health care and how you want to be treated if you become seriously ill and unable to make or communicate your own choices. Your wishes can be either that certain treatment should not be provided in specified circumstances (and these wishes can be binding on medical staff), or that you should be treated or cared for in a particular way (these wishes are not binding on medical staff but should be taken into account).
Deed of variation redirecting property given by Will

Mirror Wills for married couples or civil partners

These Wills are suitable for couples who are married or in a civil partnership and who both want to make a Will in reciprocal terms – i.e. you want the Wills to 'mirror' each other.

Mirror Wills are Wills made by two people in largely the same terms.

These Wills give everything to the survivor after the first of you dies, and then allow you to say what will happen after the second death, which is the same in both Wills. For example, you can specify who should inherit belongings and property, and how money should be distributed. You can also name a guardian for any children under the age of 18 and appoint up to four executors – people who will be responsible for implementing your instructions in your Will and for the administration of your estate.

To make things easier for you, buying this document provides one set of questions that creates two separate Wills, one for each partner.
