You always see it on tele - someone in the solicitors office and he's reading out the will and some spawny git gets a fortune.

Have any of you got anything good or bad in a will?

No. Apparently over here you can't "benefit from a crime".

What a waste of time that was.

A family member of mine died and had left a will, but its not like on TV, everything was left to his wife and immediate family, so there was no "reading".

My Mother was left a card table in a will. It was tiny though not much good for inviting the lads around for a game of poker.

Oh the woman who left it to her BTW, her husband was involved in a plot to kill Hitler. Strange but true!

Great idea for a thread, im dreading the reading of my dads will, cos he has 11 kids. But i just know my step sister will get the house- and i know she will sell it. Makes me so mad my parents bought that in 1963 and did it up and its where we grew up and wouldnt want strangers living in it

gggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr

No my mother actually named me after my rich aunt hoping she would leave me something in her will- and she didnt:D - its pretty much a running joke in the family ha

There is only a small number of people who would be leaving me anything in a will. Thankfully none of their wills have had to be called into action.

My grandmother died when I was 12 and I was left all her jewelry. One item was a ring from the 1850's that had been passed down to oldest child in each generation. After my grandmother died my uncle came over from England looking for that ring. My other uncle told him my grandmother had lost the ring before she died. The uncle from England was adopted by my grandparents when he was three (a year before my mam was born). When he was 20, he went looking for his birth parents in England, started living with them and barely talked to my grandparents, aunts and uncles anymore, wouldn't even come home for special birthdays and anniversaries. My grandparents didn't treat him differently from their other kids... they loved him and because he was the oldest boy he got all brand new clothes & toys (my other uncles got his hand downs) and my granddad helped him get his first job which was a really great paying job at the time. My family have no idea why he treated my grandparents so badly. He basically cut himself out of the family so no one wanted him to get that ring.
