How does inheritance work with a married couple?
Usually, the executor is named in the last will and testament and is likely the surviving spouse, adult child, a trusted family member, or a trusted friend.
Should married couples have separate wills?
In many states(most?) inheritance, to a married person, it is owned solely by the spouse who inherits it. It becomes community property if the inheritance money is intermingled with jointly owned money such as a married couples joint bank account. In that case the inheritance becomes jointly owned by both spouses.

For a Will to be valid in New York, the Will must be in writing, signed by the Testator in the presence of two attesting witnesses who must both attest the Testators signature and, at the request of the Testator, sign their names and affix their residence addresses at the end of the Will within 30 days.
