As people age, they often write wills, deciding who will inherit their assets. While many use this to take care of their families, others leave behind bizarre or unexpected requests that shock those left behind. One solicitor shared a story of a woman who set up a £100,000 trust for her pet goldfish, insisting it be fed fresh avocado daily and cared for by a dog walker. Another woman revealed in her will that she had a secret daughter, leaving her money and photographs without her family’s knowledge, A woman left her entire estate to a bus driver who had been kind to her, while a man requested to be buried in a spring-loaded coffin designed to surprise archaeologists. One woman asked for her horse’s ashes to be scattered with hers, even though the horse had passed away years earlier. A man in Toronto promised his fortune to the woman with the most children, which ended up being a mother of ten. Other wills contained strange conditions, like one where a son could only inherit if he visited a dentist, or another where a woman requested to be buried next to her husband on her property—a request that was legally impossible, Some wills were touching, like one where a man asked his family to visit the zoo after his burial. Others, however, were revengeful, like the parents who left their children only their hated cats as inheritance. A wealthy uncle left everything to an Elvis impersonator, and a man’s son, suspected of causing his parents’ deaths, inherited the family estate while in a mental hospital. One final prank came from a man who left his outhouse contents to the city council after years of fighting them for his land. Lastly, a woman, believed to be poor, hid her fortune, but only if her husband met specific conditions. He had to live in her trailer for a year, maintain it without upgrades, volunteer at an animal shelter, and write an essay on humility. These strange wills reflect how even in death, people can leave surprising, unforgettable marks on their families
