  We investigate the ground-state and magnetic properties of a dipolar spin-1
Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a symmetric double-well potential. In
particular, we focus on the spin-vortex states by assuming that each potential
well is highly pancake shaped. We show that the presence of the double-well
potential gives rise to two different spin configurations for the spin-vortex
pair states. We also study the response of the coupled spin-vortex pair to
static transverse magnetic fields.
