A popular option for many married couples or life partners is to make mirror wills. These are almost identical wills where both partners leave their estate to the other. You also name the same people and organizations as your secondary beneficiaries.
Some couples think that they can have one joint will together, but this is not a sound approach. Spouses need separate wills. Even if the majority of the information in your wills is nearly identical, you still need to each have your own.
In most states, it is impossible to totally disinherit your spouse in a will. Spouses have a right of election, and can claim a certain fraction of the estate as their elective share, no matter what the will says. In community property states, a surviving spouse owns half of their shared property.
A joint will is for two people, so it is usually reserved for married couples.
It is legal for your husband to make a will without your knowledge. No laws exist that can stop him from doing so. As long as he was mentally stable, not under the influence of anything, not forced into it, and followed your states rules when signing it, the will is valid, even if he didnt tell you about it.
