Both of us have share options. How do Canary Wharf mirror wills handle them?

Through parallel scheme clauses on each will, reading each employer's rules separately. The scheme rules determine what is paid out on death; the will determines where that payment goes afterwards. Specialist drafters will review both scheme documents before drafting.

One of us is US domiciled. Can we still have UK mirror wills?

Yes, but the mirror pair must be drafted alongside a US will for the US-domiciled partner, and neither should revoke the other. Specialist Canary Wharf drafters regularly coordinate with US attorneys on this, producing mirror pairs that cover UK assets cleanly and leave US assets to the US will.

Our combined pensions already exceed £1 million. Does the mirror pair need special drafting?

Yes. Pension death benefits interact with the will through nominations, not through the will itself, but the mirror pair should assume the nominations match its intent. Specialist drafters will review the nominations at both employers and advise on updates alongside will drafting.

We just bought a flat in Wapping together. Does the mirror pair cover it?

Absolutely, and buying a property is usually the trigger for the call. Specialist drafters will confirm whether the flat is held as joint tenants or tenants in common, because the mirror pair operates differently in each case, and coordinate the will with the purchase documents.

Mirror Wills specialists in Canary Wharf

Two bonuses, two pensions, one mirror will pair drafted the same evening

A Canary Wharf couple where both partners work in finance often have four separate compensation schemes, two vesting timelines, and combined pensions approaching a million pounds. A mirror pair that accommodates all of this needs drafting from someone familiar with the schemes, not general will writing.

Why Canary Wharf mirror pairs have to move at finance-industry pace

Two E14 finance professionals typically want their mirror pair drafted in one evening, reviewed by email, and signed the following week. The specialists we match here work at that pace, and they have the scheme-specific knowledge to draft accurately rather than generically. Both partners get bespoke wills reflecting their own scheme rules.

Dual-jurisdiction finance couples are common in Canary Wharf. One partner may be US or EU domiciled, the other UK, and the mirror pair must accommodate both positions without either will revoking the other unintentionally. Specialist drafters here coordinate with US attorneys or EU notaries as standard.

Both wills should also anticipate the trajectory of the careers. A mid-thirties Canary Wharf couple will usually double their estate value in the next five years, and the mirror pair should be drafted with that in mind, not just the current snapshot.

The Canary Wharf mirror pair that tracks two compensation schemes at once

Each partner's employer has its own rules on death for RSUs, deferred bonuses, and share schemes. A specialist mirror pair in E14 reads both schemes, drafts provisions that align the will with each, and ensures the surviving partner receives what the scheme releases on first death without dispute. This is drafting around the compensation, not against it.
