Developers could do nothing until it died — and parrots have long lives. There are cautionary tales of family conflict, including the one-page will fought over for two decades by three generations. Want to write a parting shot? Read about the will that mocked the beneficiaries, such as the bequest that said, “For my sister because she is married to a minister\nwho (God help him) she hen pecks.” Or the contested will that ordered the deceased’s horses to be killed by a police firing squad; the bigoted will that bequeathed everything to a neo-Nazi organization; and the will that left far more money to sons than daughters, sparking a landmark gender discrimination case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThese stories and many more will amuse, entertain, and inform — for your consideration when you write or revise \u003ci\u003eyour\u003c\/i\u003e will.","brand":"Susan Goldenberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48281982632187,"sku":"9781459755826","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_74433d91-b1e1-4e19-bda5-613a68204cc2.jpg?v=1777515139","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/will-power-9781459755826","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
