You do not need a lawyer to draft your will, but it is a good idea to have a lawyer do it. While there are many forms available on the internet, they are not all valid or good. Many are not written with Vermont laws in mind.
Married couples who agree on how they want their estates distributed after they die might assume a joint will is a good idea. However, for a number of reasons, creating separate is a better idea.
If the common intention is expressed in one instrument, the will may be called a joint will, and if the testators have executed two separate instrument to manifest their common intention, the will may be called a mutual will.
For example, Mr and Mrs Smith draw up mutual Wills at the same time, initially leaving their entire estate to each other. Both Wills go on to state that, following the death of the second spouse, all assets will go to their children.
Many states, if a person dies, is married and has children with their spouse, everything will go to the spouse. However, if the person who dies, has children with someone other than the wife, most times the assets are split 50/50 between the spouse the other children.

Mirror-image wills are a great option for married couples. Theyre drafted almost identically, with each testator (the person making the will) signing their own will. Generally, theyre mirror-image simple wills.
Different Times of Death is the Most Important Reason For Separate Will For Husband and Wife. The chances are quite high that you will not pass away at the same time. If you have a joint will when one of you passes away, it can be much more difficult to work through executing the will for just the other party.
In many states(most?) inheritance, to a married person, it is owned solely by the spouse who inherits it. It becomes community property if the inheritance money is intermingled with jointly owned money such as a married couples joint bank account. In that case the inheritance becomes jointly owned by both spouses.
