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

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
