Hi
I would like to know whether two persons can execute a single will deed.
1. For Example A wife and Husband who are the joint owners of a property can bequeath the property together by executing a single will deed?
2. If Husband wife and Son are the joint owners of a property, then Husband and wife can execute a Single will deed with respect to their share in favour of their son?

There is no legal issue in the joint will.

I have similar opinion, joint will can be executed if the property is jointly owned by both the testators.

a joint Will is admissible in law for the joint property to be bequeathed in favor of beneficiary.

Hello, with due respect to experts, I wish to add that in order to avoid any future complications & for all practical purposes, I suggest individual WILL registered by both joint owners giving proper narration about their share-holding-pattern with proper description of SCHEDULE as per their share holding will have more clarity.

1. A will is a document, which can be activated ONLY "AFTER" the death of the Will-Maker.
2. In a Joint/Mutual WILL (sic), BOTH the Joint Will makers will have to die, for the will to be activated /probated, in toto.
3. On death of First-named joint will-maker, the said Will, cannot be revoked or modified by the Second-named joint will-maker.
4. A Joint/Mutual WILL, is infructous, fraught with frustration.

Yes there is a practical problem in writing a single Will by two persons jointly.
Will can be modified at any point of time. If one dies and surviving another cancels the Will, there will be a problem in executing a joint Will.
