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.
A joint will is one document signed by two people. A mutual will represents two individual wills that are signed separately, but are largely the same in content.
A joint will can be a good idea if both you and your partner are in total agreement about how you want to distribute your property, your estates aren't complicated, and you only have a few beneficiaries.
Generally speaking, there are three kinds of Wills: (1) holographicwritten entirely in the handwriting of the person writing the Will; (2) standard, formal typewrittenprinted or typed; and (3) partially handwritten and partially typed. The requirements for a valid Will are different for each type of Will.
A conventional will is always revocable. But a joint will is really a binding legal contract, which cannot be revoked or changed after one spouse has died.
A mutual will's purpose is to ensure that property passes to the deceased's children rather than to a new spouse if a living spouse remarries after the death of the other.
A joint will is one document signed by two people. A mutual will represents two individual wills that are signed separately, but are largely the same in content.
If I have a will, does my spouse need one? The answer is yes everyone should have a will! If you're married, you and your spouse can have separate (or joint) wills that you sign yourselves. This way, if something were to happen to one of you, there's no room for ambiguity or confusion.
It's also important to note that whilst normally getting married would revoke any previous Wills made, if one of the couple from a mutual will has passed away, a contract has been formed which is not revoked by marriage.
Mutual Wills are Wills usually made between two persons - often spouses or partners. Mutual Wills are done simultaneously and are usually accompanied with a binding contract which both parties execute, agreeing to not change or revoke their Wills, without the express permission of the other party.
