Sir, it is a complicated matter which requires brief discussion. However, even when an agreement is struck, the other testator is entitled to take over the estate in the event that one testator passes away without giving up any of his belongings or canceling the joint will. But he/she cannot do so if the agreement expressly states that the survivor has been given notice not to change or cancel the will. There are many provisions which depends on the circumstances so kindly contact us on our helpline number to speak to an expert lawyer specialized in property matters.
