Because of this, estate attorneys recommend making mirror wills instead of joint wills, since will mirrors are more flexible. If you and your spouse have minor children, you should agree on and name a guardian for them in your wills. If one of you were to pass away, usually the remaining parent would maintain custody.
A Separate Will To Protect Children from Previous Spouses Many couples today are not on their first marriage and they often have children from previous relationships. Each having your own wills can make it much easier for everyone involved when it is time to pass on assets to these children.
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.
Yes, spouses actually always have separate wills and they do not require the consent of the other party. In many (most?) states, spouses each own 50% of all property and assets as community property.
Yes, each spouse should have their own will. They should be reviewed at least every ten years and earlier if something has changed.

In almost all circumstances, a married couple should have two separate wills. There is the option of a joint will but in practice these are very rare and are treated as two separate wills by the courts anyway; the will is submitted for probate when the first testator dies and then again for each other testator.
Similar to a Joint Will, a Mirror Will is near-identical for each person involved. This is often the preferred choice for married couples because it offers more flexibility in altering the will, but ensures that distributions are left to the same beneficiaries in similar proportions, such as children, says Stone.
