A Dead Man's Party
Robert P. Schwartz has missed his last ten birthday parties. He's missed them because he died on July 25, 1997. The Naples millionaire didn't see why his death should end the party so he put an interesting stipulation in his will. All his relatives 13 or older must attend his parties or they wouldn't get a share of the inheritance. If they miss two consecutive parties, or two within five years, they are out. The Robert P. Schwartz Party Trust is now worth about $7.86 million so relatives can celebrate many more birthdays to come. Every will should have this clause.
I don't know if his relatives love him or hate him for it, but that sounds like a great idea. I'm doing it.
When I finally get around to writing a will, I'm going to state I want to be buried close to the surface in a transparent coffin, posed as if I were clawing at the coffin to escape. That'll traumatize a few people, and I'll be having a good chuckle in the afterlife.
Admit it. You post strawman arguments as AC so you get modded Insightful for refuting them, rather than Troll
One interesting bit was that there had to be a court case deciding the fate of people under the age of 13 at the man's death: should they inherit? Conclusion, yes.
