Mirror Wills for Couples — Digital (Self-Complete)

Mirror wills in Ireland are two separate wills made by a couple, usually in near-identical terms, so that each leaves their estate to the other and then to the same people. This product provides self-complete mirror will templates for a couple, completed online. No solicitor review is included at this price, so it suits couples with straightforward circumstances who are comfortable preparing and signing their wills themselves.

Frequently asked questions

How much do mirror wills cost in Ireland?

This page is a free guide — nothing on it is for sale. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate (a section 150 letter) before starting. Get quotes through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.

How do I sign a will so that it is valid in Ireland?

A will must be in writing and signed at the end by the person making it, in the presence of two witnesses who are both present at the same time and who then sign in that person’s presence. A witness, or a witness’s spouse or civil partner, should not be a beneficiary, because a gift to them will generally fail.

Can one of us change a mirror will later?

Yes. Mirror wills are two separate wills, so each person can generally change or revoke their own will at any time while they have capacity, without the other’s agreement. Bear in mind that a spouse or civil partner has a legal right share in the estate under the Succession Act 1965.
