Separate Documents for Each Person
In most cases, each person needs their own estate planning documents. Think of it like taxes: even when you file as a married couple, you each have your own tax returns.
Joint and Mutual Wills
Joint wills can also be mutual wills, meaning they can't be altered when one party passes away. These types of wills are uncommon in most provinces and are not legal in Québec.
Coordinating Wills on Willful
On Willful, each spouse gets their own account and creates their own documents. However, you can still coordinate your wills by making key decisions together, such as:
- Choosing a guardian for your children
- Selecting beneficiaries
Willful's Premium Bundle
Our Premium Bundle allows you to purchase two plans at a lower cost and invite your spouse from your account page. This way, you each have your own account and can make changes anytime, even if your life situation changes.
