I do not recommend Jt. Wills though they are still

legal they often trigger a Will contest. If you

need help with a will e-mail me or speak with an

Attorney of your choice.

Re: joint wills

I'm not sure what you mean by 'filed.' If you are talking about a a living couple considering a joint will, then I would recommend strongly against such. If you are talking about a deceased who had a joint will, I would have to review it before I could determine whether or not it could be probated.
