ABSTRACT
Unless the wills made by George and Mildred are in the form of mutual wills, it is clear that George is completely free to deal with any property of his own (inherited from Mildred or otherwise) as he chooses. He could thus make his intended gift to the hospice, add the new grandchild and any further grandchildren to the list of beneficiaries and delete those of his grandchildren who had predeceased. He could, if he so wished, make an entirely new and different will. If, on the other hand, it is found that the wills are mutual, he may find himself bound as to the destination of his property under the terms of a trust.
