What is the biggest mistake with wills?

Can married couples have different wills?

What are the disadvantages of dying without a will?

The only downside is that intestate succession laws determine the percentage share of the estate to which each heir is entitled, so if a decedent wanted to leave more of their property to a child who is financially struggling, they wont have that option, as intestate succession would provide each of their children
