Quick Summary

Yes, a husband and wife can create a joint Will for their jointly owned properties, including those held in joint names. While there isn't a strict legal format, a valid Will should clearly name beneficiaries, detail all assets, and confirm the testator's sound mind. It is highly recommended to consult a senior document writer or an advocate for drafting, and consider registering the Will to simplify the process for your beneficiaries.

The answer is yes.

There is no specific format for Will. But it should contain

1. Name/s of Beneficiaries

2. Full details of assets and

3. Confirmation that the Will is made with balanced mind

It's better you contact a good Lawyer to write your Will. Although it's not compulsory to register the Will, it is better to register the Will which will save much hard work for the beneficiary/ies.
