What Happens Once Your Wills Are Registered

Preparing a Will is a milestone, not a finish line. We help you keep it current as life changes.

Secure Digital Copies

Final, registered copies of both Wills are stored in your secure client area so you can access them whenever needed.

Share With Executors

Executors and trusted family members can be informed of the existence and location of the Wills — without sharing the full contents.

Annual Review Reminder

We send a friendly yearly reminder so you can refresh the Wills after major life events: a new child, a new property, or a change in marital status.

Future Updates

If your circumstances change, the questionnaire can be reopened so a revised Mirror Will can be prepared at a clearly stated, discounted update fee.
