Does joint ownership make a will unnecessary?

No. That’s a common misconception. Joint ownership may create unnecessary estate taxes and may result in the imposition of gift taxes. It may also deny you complete control over your property while you’re still living. Joint ownership is a poor substitute for a will but can often work well in conjunction with one.
