A kind bus driver received an elderly lady’s entire estate because he was the only one who had shown her kindness. Then, there was a lawyer who included a spring-loaded coffin clause in his will, hoping to confuse future archaeologists.Some requests were even more bizarre: a woman wanted her horse cremated and buried with her, while another lady required her two sons to visit a dentist and lose weight to inherit her fortune. In one case, a man’s will asked his family to go to the zoo after his burial.And then there was the rich uncle who left his fortune to an Elvis impersonator, and a woman who gave everything to her taxi driver, leaving him completely clueless.Lastly, a grandmother’s will required her son-in-law to live in her old trailer and volunteer at an animal shelter if he wanted to inherit her fortune. His greedy hopes were dashed as he faced the impossible conditions.These strange wills show that sometimes, a person’s final wishes can be surprising, funny, or even downright shocking.
