Whether they leave behind a final sign-off to a long-running feud or a surprise ending with a trivial sass, humor or even some cruelty, some real-life individuals employ their terminal testaments to send some legendary letters. We took to the Reddit community to see what people had to say about unbelievable inheritances and their aftermath. Take a look!
The Verbal Gift
Best diss ever was in a study book at my police school as an example of people talking s**t in their wills (you're supposed to discourage them, equally lawyers, from doing so). "To my married woman, I leave her lover and the knowledge that I was never the fool she thought me. To my son, I leave the pleasance of working for a living — for 25 years, he thought the pleasure was all mine."

The male parent had a valuable antiquarian grandfather clock. He as well had 2 daughters. His solution: If I die on an fifty-fifty day, daughter A gets the clock. On an odd day, daughter B gets information technology. The daughter who did not become the clock got an equivalent greenbacks honour based on the value of the clock. I knew about the bequest because I had to service the clock several times over the years.

Toys Not Simply for Boys
We had a (legal) client who was a widowed farmer and owned [some] heavy equipment (Caterpillar trucks, etc). He had 2 sons who were already working with him at the farm and a daughter who was working in the city. He willed the heavy equipment to the daughter.
When asked why he would practise that with equipment that was essential to the farm, he said that the subcontract was to be owned equally past his kids, merely his girl needed to know he always wanted her to join their venture and dispel her notions of alienation because she was a girl.

An Unfair Ending
My maternal grandpa was wealthy. He divorced my maternal grandma, remarried — and promptly dropped dead of a heart assail. He was only 48 and had no will, so everything went to his new wife, my mom's stepmother. She was actually really nice and was planning on making sure that everything was "fair" — until she died in a car accident six months later.
She was a widow herself prior to marrying my grandpa, and she left behind an orphaned 15-year-sometime son from the previous union who got everything. My mom and her siblings had to go to the sale at their childhood domicile and buy back equally many of their heirlooms and memories as they could afford (and, truthfully, stole some of what they couldn't).

Not Such a Pretty Penny
My great-grandmother left her daughter "just 1 dollar and not a unmarried penny more, so assist me God." This was before I was born, only my grandmother — not the daughter who got the dollar — said that when they all read the will, her sister had a full-blown temper tantrum, and no i had heard from her since. I guess she had it coming.

Savagely Creepy
In my trusts and estates class in police school, nosotros read a case about a man who left everything to his wife with a condition. She had to have his body stuffed and exit it on the living room couch forever.
Luckily for her, the court invalidated that part of the husband's volition. Function of the reasoning was that information technology would brand it impossible for her to date/remarry if she had her husband'due south creepy expressionless body glaring at anyone who came to meet her. Yous think?

A Literal Death Wish
From my great uncle: "To my daughter Anne, who created my beautiful granddaughter Jane, and her beloved fourth husband, John, who laid hands on my Jane, I leave one dollar, you coin-grubbing scumbags. To Jane, I leave all of my budgetary assets, salvage $5,000 and my best gun, which I leave to my son, Neb, on the condition that he beats John encarmine during the time between my funeral and my burying. Jane, bail your uncle out of jail, please."
In case anyone wondered, yes, Bill got his $5,000. He didn't get arrested, though, because John had a warrant on him, and so they didn't dare call the cops.

Lamentable State of Affairs
When my dad'southward mother died, her will stipulated that everything was to be liquidated and the money distributed equally between her children and grandchildren. Fine, but literally everything had to be sold. There were family heirlooms, jewelry, things my grandfather (a carpenter) had made — so many sentimental family unit things that my father and his siblings badly wanted, but information technology all had to be sold.
They all went to the auction to try to purchase some of the more sentimental items, but they weren't e'er successful. It was heartbreaking, and I'm not sure what made my grandmother retrieve information technology would be a expert idea. Nobody wanted the money. They wanted her wedding band and the clocks my grandfather had made and all that.

A Bad Cut
When I was a clerk in police schoolhouse at the country court of appeals, the developed children of a rich woman tried to invalidate the will. Basically, the woman was worth about $8 million dollars, and all the children were working professionals earning six or seven figures.
The adult female had used the same hairdresser for multiple years, and she left a considerable corporeality in a trust for the barber'southward children's didactics. The remainder of the estate was given to different charities. Basically, the kids were mad they didn't get a cut.

Love thy Neighbour
My grandfather hated his neighbour. They lived next to each other for xx+ years. I recollect well my granddaddy raging at every opportunity almost this guy. We never saw them speak to each other. In Grandpa'southward will, he left the guy $10,000, a car and golf game clubs. We were dumbstruck.
It turned out they were good buddies from the Army. When they coincidently bought homes next to each other, they decided to play a long scam with both their families. They really played golf game together two to iii times per calendar week and had a monthly poker game for years.

A Butter Burn
An ancestor of mine in the rural U.K. in the 1700s died and left his farm and everything to his nephew (no children), with his surviving wife only getting "the 2d-all-time bed" and a provision to receive 3 pounds of butter per week for the rest of her life. We thought this was incredibly mean, but and then we wondered whether the butter was meant equally an income. I mean, who can eat 3 pounds of butter in a calendar week?

Not Feline-Friendly
Simply last calendar week, I handled a thing where the parents left millions in artwork to diverse people, wads of cash to diverse charities and simply left their kids the family cats. It turned out they did it because their kids got them the cats to comfort them in their old age — and they freaking hated the cats, but the kids wouldn't permit them get rid of them.

Non a Volition, Not a Way!
Earlier my dandy-grandma died, she made multiple wills and gave one to all her kids. Each will was basically written to close her kids upward and make information technology look like they got what they wanted or what they felt was fair. When she died, it was revealed she never actually made a will.
And so, everyone just stupidly stood in that location yelling at each other about who had the nearly recent re-create, claiming that should be the actual will. Bottom line: They all just had worthless pieces of paper. It ended in yelling, stealing, lying and fighting.

Fair's fair…
My sister's mother-in-law is leaving her cottage to her three sons. If one wants to sell out his third of the firm, he has to sell it to the other two brothers for $i. They can sell it if all 3 agree… 2 of the sons live on lakes nearby. The 3rd son lives with his mom in the house.
He does take on a lot of the care responsibilities for his mom — she is 93 — and so that's nice. The other two brothers have done most of the dwelling maintenance for decades, including weekly mowing and cleaning, and they nonetheless help with her intendance.
When she dies, which unfortunately could exist very soon, the tertiary son might non move out. He could freeload in that house forever, and his brothers would accept to share in the revenue enhancement payments and upkeep if they want to maintain their inheritance.

Grandma'southward Favorite
My grandma left a penny and a nasty comment to almost every person in the volition — all of her sons and daughters, even a few grandchildren, except for me. I got $1,000.
Thanks, Grandma.

Affiche Boy
A client had two sons. He left a whole agglomeration of specific distributions to one of the sons — his truck, gun collection, etc. To the other son, he specifically left one thing: a poster of himself in high school.
No idea if there was some significance/sentimental value behind the poster, or if it was more of a "look at what I'm giving your brother, and here's a poster of me so you volition never forget that I loved you less."

The Final Fee
Years agone, we were going through old family documents and plant a will left by one of my great-smashing-(no idea how many)grandfathers. He apparently had a beef with ane of his several sons. He named his oldest son every bit executor and laid out the inheritance to each of his kids. To the son he apparently disliked, he left $five. As if that wasn't bad plenty, the volition stipulated each inheritor pay the executor — the oldest son — a $10 service fee.

A Sugariness Deal
My grandpa put a chocolate bar in his volition for every ane of his grandkids. Well, I have like 12 cousins, and it'due south very difficult to track downwards where a couple of them went. The estate and money he had in his will were at a standstill for months considering they couldn't find a couple of my cousins. We had to show the court we put in the effort to hire someone to track them down.
The lawyer who was helping execute the volition was blown abroad that his lawyer allowed this and didn't highly propose that he not do it. But I'k not complaining — I got a Toblerone out of the deal!

Here'south a Pen
My grandpa on my dad'southward side died when I was x. My younger brother is iv years younger than me and was adored past my grandfather. In his will, my blood brother got £thirteen,000, and I got a pen — non a special pen, like a inexpensive Bic. So, there are a lot of difficult feelings there.

A Forthright Male parent
I'yard a funeral director, and a lot of times we work with wills. One day, ii women stormed in, and they were furious. It turned out Dad had written both of them out of his inheritance and out of beingness informed of his death at all. All arrangements and executrix powers were left to the third daughter. It even included a clause that any arguments pertaining to the will could be handled by a specific pastor in a very specific "Christian manner."

Ashes to Ashes
Years ago, I worked in a retirement customs. An older man we knew was gay developed a belatedly-in-life relationship and moved into the customs with his gay lover. He was a Korean War vet with multiple honors and a wall of medals. He was likewise a chip of an a*****e most days, only he had his moments. Over a meal, his stories were fantastic.
Over iii years, his children never once visited him. He had a heart attack and knew he was going to dice. His children showed up simply demanded his lover exit for their visits. In his will, he left everything to his lover and his lover'south one child from a former matrimony. He wrote a long note well-nigh his kids' hypocrisy, not visiting and their attitudes toward his lover.
He left each of his two kids a pail of coal ash, to be deducted from his manor. He had his manor pay for his lover's plot to exist placed next to him and his married woman. In his long letter, he said that his kids, if they visited him in his death, would be reminded they didn't visit when he was alive.

Surprise!
I had to write a will due to the health insurance I get at work, and along with all the sensible stuff, the in-house lawyer said information technology was totally okay for this clause to be added: "My funeral wishes are that I be buried in a coffin which has been bound-loaded, such that opening the bury would cause alarm to future archaeologists."
Then I added a bunch of stuff virtually how if this was too plush, I should be cremated and take my ashes scattered in a specific place.

The Mysterious Man Shed
When my gramps passed, his will asked that I clean out his shed — lone. I constitute marijuana seeds, quondam reel-style film pornography (which was hilarious) and a agglomeration of other unsavory paraphernalia. There were 'fifty'south flick knives also.

An Uncle's Comeuppance
My granddaddy left my uncle 3 things from his rather valuable estate: $one in unrolled pennies, a framed copy of the contract my uncle signed saying he owed my gramps more than $100,000 (never repaid), a framed copy of the letter my uncle sent my grandad saying he was disowning him for "being cheap." To the latter, my grandfather wrote "Accustomed, a*****due east" and signed his name.
I was just a child, only I understood and laughed at it when I heard my uncle blasphemous my grandfather to the chaser. I still express joy today, and my grandfather was right. He is an a*****e.

That's A-Llama-ing
My bang-up aunt had nearly $two 1000000 when she died. She left half to a modest church building in the middle of nowhere and the other half to a llama sanctuary. She left each of her family unit members about $25.
She had no children of her own, and to be honest, near of the family was pretty entitled and making plans for how they would spend her money when she died. Information technology was her final "f-you" to the people spending her coin before she was fifty-fifty gone. I was virtually ix at the time and was thrilled with the $25 I got.

Savagely Sassy
My grandmother had her boobs washed when she was in her 60s. In that location'south nothing really incorrect with that, but when she died, she wanted an open casket with her boobs on display. Actually, Nanna? She passed away at eighty and got exactly what she asked for.
Grandad ended up sticking two strategically placed daisies on her boobs. So, she got what she wanted, and then did Grandad. RIP, Granny, you silly b***h. Honey you lot.

Getting Piffling
I read a lot of estate documents as part of my job. There is and then much subtle shade in them. Occasionally, they can be pretty entertaining. One super wealthy lady had a huge section for the care and well-beingness of her pets, with chief and successor caretakers and a certain corporeality of money from the trust for the intendance and feeding of each pet.
In that same will and trust, she too left a slew of people only $1, so there would be no chance they could take the trust to probate court on the basis that they were but forgotten. That part had SO MUCH SUBTLE SHADE: "They know what they did," "They are well aware of their guilt in the matter," etc.
So, she split up about $2 one thousand thousand among five or six different beast rescues and brute welfare charities. Information technology was effectually 200 pages long, and I swear I read the unabridged thing just for the sheer amusement value.

Monkey Business
My wife and I went to a lawyer to have our wills drafted. The lawyer told us of a client he had that had a groovy deal of coin. His kids were fighting over information technology before he was dead. The human liked the monkey exhibit and the local zoo. He liked to just lookout them all the time.
When he died, the lawyer had to tell his family he willed all of his money and estate to the zoo for the monkey exhibits. He at present has a demote defended in his honor at one of the local zoos. He said they were livid and tried to fight. Lesson: Don't be footling and greedy. Love your family unconditionally.

Ending on a Sweet Notation
A woman came in after her female parent's funeral with some correspondence from the company I piece of work for (insurance). She was worried there was a bill she needed to pay and was coming to tell us her mom had died. She but looked Then tired, and nosotros got to talking while I looked up the policy to close it out.
She shared that in the last few years her mom had slipped into dementia, and she single handedly took intendance of her. She missed her, but she was run ragged and hadn't taken a holiday in forever. I realized what she had was not a health policy; it was a life insurance policy naming the daughter as the casher for about $l,000.
I told her, and she simply started crying. Information technology made me cry, and I got upwardly and hugged her and sort of simply held her while she cried. She pulled abroad and said, "I have no idea what she left that for. Everything's been paid for." I said, "This might be her telling yous to get on that vacation and relax." It was and so touching, and she had no idea that the policy existed.
