Similar to a Joint Will, a Mirror Will is near-identical for each person involved. This is often the preferred choice for married couples because it offers more flexibility in altering the will, but ensures that distributions are left to the same beneficiaries in similar proportions, such as children, says Stone.
After the principals death, the legal authority granted by a power of attorney expires. The attorney document, often used for managing financial affairs or healthcare decisions, is no longer valid. Instead, the probate process begins, and a court appoints an estate administrator (personal representative).
The problem is that a mirror Will does not stop your partner from being able to change their Will after you die. They are free to leave the estate to whomsoever they choose and to disinherit your children or other persons you wanted to benefit.
Potential Problems With Irrevocable Joint Wills Today, estate planning lawyers advise against joint wills, and they are now rarely used. Most lawyers will tell you that married couples need separate wills, or they will point you to different types of trusts.
Illinois per stirpes law dictates that half of the estate passes to the surviving spouse while the other half is divided among children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. If there is no surviving spouse, the entire estate passes to the deceaseds children.
