The article is devoted to the nature of a joint will of spouses, its content, peculiarities of its validity and difficulties of interpretation of norms on inheritance rights in the presence of a joint will. The article provides theoretical justification of the possibility to increase the volume of the spouse’s inheritance on the basis of a joint will and criticism of the idea that it is possible to receive property on the basis of a will, but not by inheritance. New possibilities of disposition of property in case of death, provided by a joint will of spouses, are considered in detail, variants of joint wills are analysed.
