Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is the best way for married couples to handle finances?

Keep it simple. One shared bank account. Pay all the bills from that. Agree on short term and long term financial goals. Agree on your budget before the month. Use a tracking app like monarch. You can include discretionary spending for each person in equal amounts, regardless of how much each of you make.

What are the pitfalls of mirror wills?

The main issue with mirror Wills is that the surviving partner can alter or revoke their Will at any time. This can happen while both partners are alive or after one has passed away, potentially resulting in a new Will with completely different terms, excluding the initially intended beneficiaries.

Should a married couple have one or two wills?

Both spouses need to have a Will because even though the surviving spouse will become the outright owner of the property, they will need a Will to direct its disposition after their death. Since its impossible to predict which spouse will pass away first, having a Will is crucial for both individuals.

How to make a last will and testament?

Here are the steps for creating a last will: Determine how you want to write your will. Choose your executor. Determine your beneficiary. Name a guardian if you have children under 18. List and write instructions for your assets. Sign your last will and testament.

Should a husband and wife each have their own will?

Can Spouses Have a Joint Will Together? Some couples think that they can have one joint will together, but this is not a sound approach. Spouses need separate wills. Even if the majority of the information in your wills is nearly identical, you still need to each have your own.
