Five of the Strangest Wills – EP. 209 – Life’s Third Act

Subscribe: RSS

Explore five of the strangest wills on record, from Jeremy Bentham’s “auto-icon” still attending meetings in London to a Portuguese aristocrat who picked beneficiaries straight from the phone book. Attorney CPA Joe Cordell and Senior Estate Planning Attorney John Sauter unpack the real legal lessons behind these odd stories, including what courts will (and will not) enforce, why vague language can spark litigation, and how tools like trusts (including pet trusts) can help balance control with flexibility.
