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.
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.
Mutual wills are based on the agreement of both partners that the surviving partner wont change their will after the other dies.
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.
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.

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.
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.
