Mutual wills are based on the agreement of both partners that the surviving partner wont change their will after the other dies.
Mutual Wills is a term that refers to two Wills created by two individuals, most commonly spouses or civil partners, with the agreement that neither party can alter or revoke their Will without the consent of the other, even after the first partys demise.
Disadvantages of mutual wills It could be considered unfair, particularly in the case of younger couples, that the surviving partner cannot alter their Will to reflect changing circumstances such as growing more distant from their children or starting a new family.
However, mutual wills are rare, for good reason. This is partly because their legal impact is unclear. For example, it is agreed that the effect of a mutual will is to bind the conscience of the surviving testator, but what is the scope of the obligation on the surviving testator?
Mutual wills are legally binding contracts between two parties, often spouses. The testators agree to the terms included in the mutual wills, with the proviso that neither can amend their will without the express agreement of the other party.
