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.
Outright distribution. You and your spouse may have one of the most common types of estate plans between married couples, which is a simple will leaving everything to each other. With this type of plan, you leave all of your assets outright to your surviving spouse.
Missouri recognizes joint wills, which are wills for two people contained in a single document. A joint will can be probated as the will of the first to die. Unless it is later revoked by the survivor, it can also be probated as the will of the survivor on the survivor's death.
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.
A joint will can be executed with each other or with the third person in accordance with a proper agreement or contract in order to transfer or dispose of the property. A joint will can be made with another person through an agreement but it cannot be revoked by one testator.
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 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.
Joint Wills can work in some circumstances, but the potential pitfalls certainly outweigh any benefits. It is impossible to predict our future intentions, and after the death of one party to the Joint Will, it becomes incredibly difficult to change the Will.
