reciprocal wills
Wills in which the testators name each other as beneficiaries under similar testamentary plans. Anno: 169 ALR 13. Wills may be strictly reciprocal, each testator leaving his or her entire estate to the survivor, and they may depart from strict reciprocity by including bequest to third persons, without losing their character as "reciprocal" wills. 57 Am J1st Wills § 681.
