  1. With a husband and wife, would you prepare one joint will or two wills? - Russ Weninger -

  2. Some jurisdictions allow for joint wills.

  3. However, Russ Weninger practice is to prepare two wills, one for each spouse. Joint wills have too many drawbacks.

  5. For example, the husband may wish for one of his siblings to be his alternate executor, and the wife may wish for one of her siblings to be her alternate executor. image from http://www.boldsky.com

  6. In all likelihood, one spouse will predecease the other, rather than both dying at the same time. image from www.huffingtonpost.com
