Mutual wills are separate documents created by two people with reciprocal terms, often with an agreement that the surviving person wont change their will after the first person dies.

This could pose challenges if circumstances change, such as the birth of new grandchildren or changes in financial status.

What are the disadvantages of a joint will?

What is a joint will or mutual wills?
