Couple Win Most Bizarre Will Contest

Posted by samzenpus on from the from-the-grave-I-stab-at-thee dept.

A Brooklyn couple who were killed in their home last month have proved you can still be bitter after you're dead. They left a bizarre will to unloved family members and people they detested in life. Some choice lines include, "To my brother who I know hopes to be in my will, well, here you are. The sum of zero ($0.00) Dollars, I believe this sum is fitting, as you are probably the most greedy person I know," and "With regard to my estranged family who were never there for myself or my children, but always there for their distorted version of Catholicism, I give and bequeath the sum of $1 each to my" mother, father, two brothers and sister "and request that they donate same to their precious church to whom they had a greater allegiance, than to their first child and sister." The husband also requested that his body be fitted with SCUBA gear "and cast over the side of a vessel into the ocean where my body may rest undisturbed by any person[s] in the deep." Now that is what I call going out in style.

    I was hoping there'd be a boot to the head thrown in there.

    Admit it. You post strawman arguments as AC so you get modded Insightful for refuting them, rather than Troll

    I mean if your family practically disowned you and ignored you throughout life, don't leave them anything.

      OK, but it's still nice to get in the last word. Even if you're not actually there to speak it.

    The guy never signed any of the drafts... I wish he'd have at least signed one of them. The drafts are funny though :D
