Problems with joint wills A joint will is like an irrevocable contractonce the first spouse passes away, the second spouse cannot change the joint will even if circumstances have changed.
One of the primary issues with joint wills is their inflexibility. Its important to understand that a joint will is irrevocable once one of the signees passes away; the terms of the will cannot be changed after that. This means the surviving spouse cannot alter the will if circumstances change.
In general, you can change your will without informing your spouse. (One big exception to this would be if one of you has filed for divorce and there is a restraining order on assets.)
To clarify, a joint will is different from a mutual 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.
Pitfalls of mutual wills First, they heavily restrict a surviving spouses choices. As they cannot validly revoke the mutual will, they are stuck with it for the rest of their life. They cannot add or remove any beneficiaries, which means they cannot accommodate relationships that change over time.
