Why engage a mutual wills lawyer?
A mutual will is a legally binding contract between two people to make their wills in agreed terms and not change those terms after one of them has passed away.
Because this arrangement can affect how both of you manage and distribute your estates, it is important to understand the practical and legal consequences before signing any documents.
You may be considering mutual wills because you have children from previous relationships, want to protect agreed beneficiaries or have made a shared decision about how your combined estates should eventually be distributed.
Our team will help you consider the arrangement as part of your broader wills and estate planning. We explain your options, identify issues that need careful thought and prepare documents that reflect the instructions you decide to give.
