While only your parents can change their mutual Will (or the surviving parent make a new Will if there is no written agreement saying they will not), a beneficiary cannot act as a witness without foregoing their inheritance.  Wills should be witnessed by people who will not inherit to make sure that they are the free act and deed of the people making them.
