<p class="ox-38389cb0a7-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">In my 15 years I have done mutual wills/contract to will only 2 times because my client’s on the one hand, didn’t want the complexity of a trust after the death of the first to die and trusted their partner, but not so much trust as to leave outright apparently. Of course I don’t know your facts. </span></p>

<p class="ox-38389cb0a7-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I am not sure that I would do that again – the reality is, what good are mutual wills if survivor goes rogue? Where is the potential recourse? If it is blended family I suggest giving something to the branch side that looses the first parent right then and there – hope the mutual Wills plan is carried out but if it isn’t the kids something – does that make sense? </span></p>
