Commonly Asked Questions about Last Will and Testament Married with Children

Does a will take precedence over marriage?

The short answer is: Nothing. When you get married, nothing is automatically changed in your will. That means whatever was in your will before you got married is not changed when you are legally married unless you update your will.

What type of will is best for married couples?

A joint will is for two people, so it is usually reserved for married couples.

Why would a married couple have separate wills?

A Separate Will To Protect Children from Previous Spouses Many couples today are not on their first marriage and they often have children from previous relationships. Each having your own wills can make it much easier for everyone involved when it is time to pass on assets to these children.

What takes precedence over a will?

Since revocable trusts become operative before the will takes effect at death, the trust takes precedence over the will, in the event that there are issues between the two.

Does a prenup take precedence over a will?

It depends on the circumstances and the state law. With that said, many times a prenup will prevail over a will because it is a negotiated instrument (meaning two parties negotiated and made an agreement, whereas a will is a unilateral document decided by one person).

Does marriage invalidate a will in the USA?

The second exception is if your will specifically states that you intended not to include your spouse in your will. The final exception is that your spouse is actually provided for in your will. Getting married does not automatically void, invalidate, or revoke your current will.

Can a husband and wife make a joint last will and testament?

The purpose of a joint last will is to ensure that the wishes of both parties are followed upon their deaths. The surviving spouse is bound to the provisions of the joint will as the terms can only be changed with the consent of both parties.

Will marriage override a will?

Yes, it does. If you married someone who passed away before they were able to mention you in their trust or will, it is important to understand that your marriage revokes all previous trust versions, giving you a legal right to inherit a portion of the estate.
