The inflexibility of mutual wills is a key disadvantage, making them less ideal for those anticipating docHub life changes. Consulting an estate planning attorney is recommended due to the legal complexities involved.
Mutual wills are legally binding contracts between two parties, often spouses. The testators agree to the terms included in the mutual wills, with the proviso that neither can amend their will without the express agreement of the other party.
The agreement between the parties is an essential factor of a Mutual Will wherein neither of them can revoke their Will without taking prior consent of each other. This agreement can be in writing or in oral. In case of an oral agreement, it needs to be proved that such an agreement has taken place between the parties.
Mirror wills, also known as a reciprocal wills, are wills that have similar provisions of disposition between spouses. Mutual wills, meanwhile, are wills that include a binding agreement that the testators will not change their wills after the death of their spouse. Not all mirror wills are mutual wills.
Most practitioners will recommend the use of a trust over mutual Wills as it will achieve the same aim but offer far greater flexibility.

In almost all circumstances, a married couple should have two separate wills. There is the option of a joint will but in practice these are very rare and are treated as two separate wills by the courts anyway; the will is submitted for probate when the first testator dies and then again for each other testator.
