Yes, each person should have their own will, although there is certainly no law against having interlocking wills. It is somewhat rare for both parties in a marriage to die at the same instant, meaning the will of one of them will be administered before the will of the other.

How long is a will good for?

I am not a will expert, but in my understanding, in most countries when you make a will this will remain in force until your death unless you make a later will (which will invalidate all earlier wills) or unless you marry (the act of marriage invalidates all wills made prior to the marriage).

When a couple die within hours of each other does the will still stand?

# Based on if they are a married couple:If both have wills............Both wills are valid if they each have one. The first person to dies will is followed then the other persons.If only one of them has a will..............If the one with the will dies first, that will is followed and then state law is followed after the second person dies. If the person without the will dies first, generally all their assets go to their spouse. Then when the second one dies the will is followed.Not married couple:If each one has a will, then the wills are followed separately with the will of the first decedent taking precedence, which is important because they may have left assets to the one that died second.If one does not have a will, state law is used for that person and the will for the other.
