1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Working with Brooke every day has been a really good

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: reminder that it's never too early to start making your will.

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: It's working Jeffrey in the morning, pasted death, jeff already insulted.

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: For you love that young spirit you got, Brookes, because

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: I read hers and alexis good news. You're getting a

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: lot of her swamp beaver and muskrat pelts, so you

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: enjoy that. But that's the wills. It's the great thing

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: about wills is you can write down pretty much whatever

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: you want in there, anything you want to happen after

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: you pass, and they kind of have to do it.

11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: It's great, and sometimes the request can get real weird,

12
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: which is why a recent survey asked lawyers to share

13
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: the strangest things they remember somebody putting down in their will,

14
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 1: like this one. One lady wanted her small dog to

15
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: be buried with her if the dog happened to be

16
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: alive when the lady passed. She wanted the dog put

17
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: down in order to j.

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: Jef that is starting with the saddest thing, Broke.

19
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: You have the same claws in yours with your husband,

20
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: so don't look like it's weird.

21
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: If that dog was only three years old, I swear

22
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: them out. Yeah.

23
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 1: One person listed their funeral wishes and their will, saying

24
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: they want to be buried in a coffin which has

25
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: been spring loaded in such a way that opening the

26
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: coffin decades later would cause alarm to any future archy.

27
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: You know. I like that. That's a fun one, speaking

28
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: up on grave robbers even after you're dead. Yeah, it's good.

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: And now this one wasn't written by a lawyer, but

30
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: it says, my vindictive grandmother left my aunt twenty dollars

31
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: as a grim reminder of the twenty bucks that my

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: aunt stole out of her personal.

33
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: Dude, those are the type of grudges my mom holds. Yeah,

34
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: never let it go.

35
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: Yes, if you're just joining us, we're looking at a

36
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: survey that asked people to share the weirdest things that

37
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: people have ever put down in their wills. This one

38
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: says one of my clients left their child a giant

39
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: Ferbie collection consisting of ninety different Ferbie models from the

40
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: late nineties creeping. They were convinced the dolls would slowly

41
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: increase in value over time and be worth a fortune. Yeah,

42
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: and they never did. This was back in twenty eleven.

43
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's still got a storage unit full of them. Like,

44
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: what do I do with this?

45
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: Is to Another one says I had a client who

46
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: wanted her ashes spread inside of the fish tank at

47
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: a specific Chinese restaurant in downtown Denver where she had

48
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: met her first husband.

49
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: I appreciate it wasn't the last husband. Yeah. Imagine walking

50
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: in for food and they're like, oh, we have a

51
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: ten minute wag.

52
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: There's a family by.

53
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: The fish bowl. I think that you just kind of

54
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: do it all the time the session.

55
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: No, my dad.

56
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: Has told me multiple times that he wants some of

57
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: his ashes put down the toilet because that's where he

58
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: spends most of his time in the bathroom, and hels

59
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: it's appropriate.

60
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: That is sweet.

61
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: Also, his grandpa name is Poopy, so it all works.

62
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't want to go to that. The more

63
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: I learned books. Another says, I'm not a lawyer, but

64
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: my grandfather saved his kidney stone just so he could

65
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: leave it to my cousin after days. They never really

66
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: got along.

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: I guess it would have been weirder if the cousin

68
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 2: wanted it.

69
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. I canly finish that necklace I was making from

70
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: different members of the family. Actually, if you're if you've

71
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: survived just far into the segment and you need a reminder,

72
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: We found this survey which asked people to share the

73
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: weirdest things people ever put down in their wills. This

74
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: one says, my favorite one ever was a wealthy man

75
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: who left the bulk of his multi million dollar estate

76
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: to whatever Toronto area woman had the most children at

77
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: the time of his passing.

78
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it.

79
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: He says. I recall the winner had ten kids and

80
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: afterwards they actually moved into his mansion.

81
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: That's actually amazing.

82
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: And this one says, my grandpa left each of his

83
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: twelve grandkids one toblerone chocolate bar, which he had purchased

84
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: on a trip he took to Switzerland back in nineteen

85
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: ninety three. He'd been storing them in his attic for

86
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: over twenty five years and decided we should eat them. Idea,

87
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: you can join them, just the chalkiest drive bars of

88
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: chocolate while you eat it. Yeah, the tears moisten them back.

89
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: It's a family bonding. Yeah. Yeah.

90
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: There's a few more here from the wills. One says

91
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: somebody wanted to leave their sibling the entire contents of

92
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: their kitchen trash can at the time of their.

93
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: Pass I guess they didn't get along very well.

94
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell if it was meant as a joke

95
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: or if they just really hated them.

96
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna go we really hated them.

97
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: It seems to be a really common threat. I didn't

98
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: realize that wills could be used as such, like a

99
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: means of revenge.

100
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 2: Yeah. I come from a family where there isn't wills

101
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: necessarily because there's never been any money to leave anyone. Yeah,

102
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 2: so what we've done, Like at my grandparents' house, you

103
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 2: would just write your name on masking tape and put

104
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: it on the back of something that you wanted, and

105
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 2: you just hope that you're the first masking tape on there.

106
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 2: If you're the second, you get second DIBs if they don't,

107
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 2: if the other person passes. It's how we got my

108
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 2: grandfather's piano.

109
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

110
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, my mom was a third name, but nobody else

111
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: wanted to move it.

112
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I just imagine Brooks family wills are so

113
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: like confusing because it's like I want my sister cousin

114
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: grandma to get this and my brother father daughter to

115
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: get this.

116
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 2: Not being written down, jeff No wills, just masking tape

117
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: I do.

118
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: And finally, this one says, my mom put in her

119
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: will that if she died under suspicious circumstances, my sister

120
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: and I were not to be left anything. She watched

121
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: a lot of true crime shows, and I guess didn't

122
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: trust us.

123
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: What are you all gonna kill me? You're supposed to

124
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 2: watch I bet the kids are hoping she dies of

125
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: natural causes.

126
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: Those were the weirdest things that people ever put into

127
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: their wills. We got your phone tap coming up right

128
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 2: After this, Brook and Jeffrey in the morning
