Mutual Wills Lawyer

Binding Estate Planning Legal Guidance

Mutual wills are separate legal documents created by two people—typically spouses or partners—that contain reciprocal provisions and are bound by a legally enforceable agreement not to be revoked without the other's consent. Unlike joint wills, mutual wills remain separate documents but carry binding obligations on both parties.

If you and your partner are considering mutual wills as part of your estate plan, legal guidance may help determine whether this option is appropriate under your state's laws and your specific circumstances.

Real Stories From Clients We’ve Helped

I’ve been a member for over a decade

They helped me with advice on numerous occasions. My brother and I had a question about Wills and Trusts. It was virtually the same question about his status; we are both members. He was given a referral lawyer. He answered all questions. We were very satisfied. I'll never give up my membership. I've been a member for over a decade, so you can imagine there are many more stories I could share - from family matters and accidents to documents.

There is no extra cost

My husband and I had our wills done as part of my membership. They were not just boilerplate wills; we needed special wording to suit our family's needs. These wills can be updated each year. There is no extra cost as they are included in our membership fee. We could not be more pleased.

We paid NO additional fees

My wife and I recently had our wills, living wills, and powers of attorney prepared by the Legal plan attorneys. Not only was it done professionally, but they followed up with us twice to ensure everything met our expectations. We paid NO additional fees, which were included in our monthly membership cost of $25. Thoroughly satisfied, and it went far beyond our expectations!

The membership has helped me so many times

Whenever I call Legal Plan, I get advice that is otherwise unavailable. There is no lawyer who wants to give advice for a fee, and the advice and services are completely priceless. With Legal Plan, I can call about any issue and have an attorney call me back in 4 business hours or less. Incredible! The membership has helped me so many times that I couldn't imagine not having my Legal Plan membership.
