If the common intention is expressed in one instrument, the will may be called a joint will, and if the testators have executed two separate instrument to manifest their common intention, the will may be called a mutual will.
The Cons of a Joint Will Lack of Flexibility. The most docHub drawback of a joint will is its lack of flexibility. Potential for Disputes Among Heirs. Inability to Account for Life Changes. Limited Applicability in Some Jurisdictions. Legal Challenges and Difficulties.
If you pass away without a will, Maine law provides that your children would inherit your property and not your partner. This may or may not suit you. But, you have the power to change this if you have a Will. If you want to make sure a certain person gets a special item such as jewelry, make a Will!
Cons of Mutual Wills Generally, mutual wills can cost more to prepare, are inflexible, and more complex to prepare than non-mutual wills. If beneficiaries are seeking to establish an agreement that the will-makers intended for their wills to be mutual, they will bear a heavy burden of proof.
Each state has its own laws regarding wills. In order for your will to be valid in Maine, it must be in writing, and you must sign it with two witnesses. It is not mandatory that it be docHubd, but some people take that additional step anyway.
