| 0:00.0 | What's the weirdest thing someone wanted to put in their will? |
| 0:04.0 | I'm a qualified solicitor. |
| 0:07.0 | My two favourite are a lady who wanted to create a trust fund of £100,000 for her pet fish. |
| 0:13.0 | When I asked if it was a special kind of fish, she confirmed it was just a normal goldfish, |
| 0:18.0 | but she wanted it to be fed fresh avocado every day and be looked after |
| 0:21.9 | by a local dog walker after she died. She was absolutely serious. There was also another lady |
| 0:28.2 | who confessed that she had a secret daughter and she wanted to leave said daughter some money |
| 0:32.5 | and photographs without the rest of her family finding out. Even her husband doesn't know. That'll be a fun |
| 0:39.0 | conversation when she passes away. My great-granddad has a clause in his will that stated |
| 0:44.5 | something along the lines of, if any of the beneficiaries decide to dispute the contents of the |

| 1:13.6 | They never really got along. |
| 1:16.6 | When my grandfather passed, his will asked that I clean out his shed and I alone do it. |
| 1:22.6 | I found green herb seeds, old-timey film reel style adult films of undressed women, which was hilarious, |
| 1:29.9 | and a bunch of other unsavory paraphernalia, 50s flick knives as well. So it's a bit like |
| 1:35.8 | clearing his browser history for him, but cooler. A relative worked for a firm preparing wills, |
| 1:42.5 | and was confronted by an executor who had an edict |
| 1:45.2 | to scatter the deceased's ashes from a microlight aircraft. He couldn't fly one. She kindly |
| 1:52.3 | pointed out to him that the drafting said nothing about whether said microlight was in flight |
