The exception to the practice of meeting the client alone is where one is taking joint instructions from husband and wife for mirror wills. Should it appear that the instructions are not reciprocal, other than differing specific bequest of personal items (e.g. jewellery to daughter, tools to son) one should not take further instructions. Some lawyers will not take instructions for a new will for one of the parties if that lawyer had previously taken mirror or mutual wills instructions for both. Some lawyers will take unilateral instructions that conflict with the earlier mirror will, provided they are also given express instructions to inform the client’s spouse that new will instructions have been received. | The exception to the practice of meeting the client alone is where one is taking joint instructions from husband and wife for mirror wills.
