What are the strangest wills were drawn up?
As you know, when people make wills, they begin with the words "being of sound mind". But after reading some, begin to doubt that they were really sane.
1. Samuel bratt was a heavy smoker, his death wish he used with only one purpose — revenge on his wife. She had never allowed him to smoke, Samuel left her 330,000 pounds on one condition: the widow needs to smoke 5 cigars a day.
2. Millionaire Leona Helmsley left a legacy to his grandchildren $ 5 million, but also 10 million for our dog. After death, the pet should be buried next to his mistress in a luxurious mausoleum, which cost about $ 1.5 million.
3. Henry Ford distributed in his will $ 500 million between 4157 educational and charitable organizations. It was the largest amount ever bequeathed to one person, in cash.
4. Wife, Rodenberry, author of "star trek" in his dying wish asked that after his death he was cremated and his ashes sent into space. In 1997, the urn containing his Wife brought into orbit Spanish satellite, where its content was released into the upper atmosphere.
5. The wife of the poet Heinrich Heine was Eugenie Mirat (Eugenie Mirat), uneducated, rude and narrow-minded clerk in a Shoe store. The poet bequeathed to the wife all his fortune on one condition: that Eugene must have been after his death to marry. Thus, Heine said, it is certain that at least one person will regret his death.
