Like most wills, a joint will lets the will-makers name who will get their property and assets after they die.After one spouse has died, all the couple's property will be left to the surviving spouse; and. After the surviving spouse dies, the remaining property will be left to the couple's children.

Married couples often execute wills which are identical in their provisions, frequently giving the estate to the surviving spouse or if the spouse does not survive to the children.However, not every mirror will is a "mutual will", indeed very few mirror wills are mutual wills.
For most married couples, a joint will is usually the best option. This allows each of you to write your own individual wishes without having to pay for two separate wills. For more complex relationships, a trust may be a better option.
The only way that a spouse can obtain ownership and override the Will is if the law in the state in which they live allows a "right of election" against the Will.
A mutual Will is where two (or more) testators make Wills which mirror the contents of the other(s). However, mutual Wills cannot be altered upon the death of one of the testators.
Most joint wills also contains a provision stating that neither spouse can change or revoke the will alonewhich means that the will can't be changed after the first spouse dies.But a joint will is really a binding legal contract, which cannot be revoked or changed after one spouse has died.
When one spouse dies, the surviving spouse automatically receives complete ownership of the property. This distribution cannot be changed by Will.Because the surviving spouse becomes the outright owner of the property, he or she will need a Will to direct its disposition at his or her subsequent death.
