Examples of the most unusual wills in the world
Some of the strangest wills in the world leave people astonished. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Some were written as jokes, while others reflect serious events. A shoemaker who lived in the city of Marseille, France, used very unusual words in his will.
In a document consisting of 123 words, 94 of them were expressions that are difficult to articulate. The shortest will was written by a banker from London, consisting only of the phrase "I am completely broken."
The longest will belongs to one of the founders of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, which stipulated that the inheritance would only be granted after all slaves were freed. A will written by the assistant of the famous physicist Niels Bohr was filled with scientific terms, requiring specialists to be involved for understanding.
The largest sum was left by industrial magnate Henry Ford, who distributed 500 million dollars among 4,157 educational and charitable institutions. The most secret will belongs to billionaire Michel Rothschild, who strictly prohibited disclosing the amount of the inheritance, so his wealth remains unknown.
Film producer and millionaire Roger Dorkas left his 65 million dollar fortune to his dog. He even prepared official documents for the dog as if it were a human.
Interestingly, his wife was given only 1 cent. However, she was clever and married a dog named Maximilian, and after his death, all the wealth passed to her.
This incident has amazed many and shows how unique wills can be in the world.
