We aim to complete the review in 10 working days. At busy times it might take slightly longer.
Once your document has been reviewed, our specialists will return it to you with their feedback. You'll receive an email including the details.
If there are no issues, your document will be approved. Alternatively, our feedback could highlight some changes you may need to consider. When you've taken any action needed, send the document back to our specialists to approve by clicking 'Send for review'.
Once approved, you can then print your document by clicking 'Print' next to your document in the 'My documents' section of your account. It's really important to follow our guidance to make sure your document is signed and executed correctly.

With our review service, specialist paralegals go through your document with a fine-tooth comb to iron out errors and to make sure it’s legally compliant. When they’re 100% satisfied that it is, and once it’s been printed, signed and witnessed correctly, it will be legally binding.
Mirror wills are usually made by married couples or civil partners. Normally, the first to die leaves their estate to the survivor. When the survivor dies, the estate passes to the beneficiaries (who are the same people in both wills).
A pair of wills is two wills made by two people with the flexibility to make them similar to each other or completely different.
In England & Wales, a will must be witnessed by two independent people over the age of 18. Your witnesses don’t need to know what’s in your will.
Witnesses cannot be:
- blind,
- beneficiaries in your will,
- spouses or civil partners of beneficiaries in your will, or
- anyone related to you.
- Specific gifts – such as your jewellery, shares or property
- Cash – known as ‘pecuniary’ gifts
- Residuary gifts – what's left after all debts have been paid and all other legacies have been accounted for.
If you have assets outside the UK, you can include them in your will. But we cannot guarantee that it will be accepted in the country where your assets are located.
