FAQ
Most states do not recognize handwritten (holographic) wills. A holographic will is not recognized in Illinois unless it meets the witness requirements of Illinois law. A holographic will is only legal if it complies with Illinois state laws, including the signature of 2 witnesses.
Mutual Wills are wills made by spouses or partners at the same time, together with a contract to which they are both parties. In the contract the spouses (or partners) each agree to be legally bound not to change their respective wills without each other's consent.
They are frequently challenged in probate court. Similar to a holographic will is a Nuncupative Will, which is a verbal statement made in front of witnesses, frequently when a terminally ill patient is unable to write. Like the holographic will, the nuncupative will is also not recognized by Illinois.
Reciprocal wills could be joint, mirror or mutual, but joint wills (one will made by two people) are not legal in Ontario. Mirror Wills are made by two parties who leave their estates to one another with gift overs to the same beneficiaries.
For Mutual Wills to be binding there must be an agreement made between the Testators. For the agreement to be legally binding the testators must agree not to revoke the Wills and then make the Wills in light of the agreements made. Mutual Wills differ to other types of Wills, such as Mirror Wills.
An Illinois Will must be in writing, contain your signature and the signatures of two credible witnesses. State law doesn't require Illinois Wills to be notarized.
Creating mutual wills entails an agreement between the spouses to not revoke or vary their wills, except as provided by the agreement, including after their spouses' death.
Ilinois law assumes that a person is not "of sound mind and memory" if the will maker was determined by a court to be disabled and has been appointed a plenary guardian or limited guardian by the court. You must make your will in writing in Illinois. It cannot be on an audio, video, or any other digital file.
In Illinois, to have a valid will it is required that two or more credible witnesses validate or attest the will. This means each witness must watch the testator (person making his or her will) sign or acknowledge the will, determine the testator is of sound mind, and sign the will in front of the testator.
