Mutual wills

Two wills. Bound together. Built for certainty.

When mutual wills are right

A mutual will agreement is most often used by:

  • Blended families where each partner has children from a previous relationship and wants certainty those children will inherit
  • Couples who agree firmly on where the combined estate must ultimately go
  • Anyone wanting protection against the survivor unilaterally changing the plan after the first death

Important to understand

Mutual wills are powerful but restrictive. The binding agreement means the survivor cannot rewrite their will after the first death. The builder walks you through the binding-attestation step so you understand exactly what you are committing to before signing.

Common questions

Frequently asked

How are mutual wills different from mirror? Mirror wills can each be changed independently. Mutual wills are bound by an agreement - once one of you dies, the survivor cannot change theirs.

Can the binding be removed? Only while both of you are alive and in agreement. After the first death, the surviving will is locked to the agreed terms.
