Mirror wills are identical wills created by two people which leave everything to each other. A
husband and wife (or any other couple) can make mirror wills by each writing a Last Will and
Testament that leaves everything to the remaining spouse. Often, there is a clause that provides that
if the husband and wife die at the same time or within 30 days of each other, everything goes to the
couples' children or, if there are no children, to a named beneficiary. Unlike a joint will, there is no
prohibition on either testator changing their will before or after the death of one of the parties.
