There are children from previous marriage (non financially dependent) with GC, our child is 18+ we have no will but DH wants to write one. Advice please - I don't want a mirror will.

I second Marlow Will (no e!)

But you’re not giving much away here!
Sounds like you don’t want to leave everything to your husband, for it then to potentially go to his first family?

Work out what YOU want, what is fair - before you talk to a will writer about how to express that legally.

My second husband has no will because he hasn’t got round to it Hmm and trusts me (which he can, but that’s not the point, as I keep telling him!)

My Will leaves almost everything to my children (who are not his) and just gives him 12 months grace to vacate my house. He’s well aware and in agreement.

Flowers @gagagogo and @cocomarine, thanks for the kind recommendations.

OP, there are several options open to you, of which the most suitable would be a Life Interest in Possession Trust, or a Right to Reside (for a limited period).

If you’d like to click on the link in Cocomarine’s post, and send a contact form, I’d be delighted to discuss.

Ours is a second marriage and we have trust wills. Our home is owned as tenants in common and my 50% is to be divvied up as I see fit, his the same. I don’t want to leave anything to my step-children as they have a large family whereas my son is very likely to only inherit from me. HTH.
