What are the disadvantages of a joint will?

The Drawbacks of Joint Wills Lack of Flexibility: One of the main issues with joint wills is their inflexibility. Once one spouse passes away, the surviving spouse cannot alter the will. This could pose challenges if circumstances change, such as the birth of new grandchildren or changes in financial status.

Does Indiana allow joint wills?

Yes. Joint wills are recognized in Indiana. However, I recommend that two (2) separate documents be prepared. A joint will has been interpreted by some cases in Indiana to be a contract with your spouse.

What is the difference between a joint will and a mutual will?

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.

Should married couples have joint or separate wills?
