Comical Will Provisions

A San Antonio lawyer has recently furnished me with a copy of an actual will containing the following “interesting” provision:

The [Charitable Beneficiary] will have a group of people minimum of five (5), sing, anything they choose, in English, at my late wife’s * * * gravesite, in the City Cemetery * * * at noon, every 27th day of the month, every month, in perpetuity whether it falls on Sundays or Holidays, for at least fifteen (15) minutes.  The participants do not have to be professional singers or even be able to carry a tune.

In the same will, the testator included a detailed no-contest clause which is labeled as “Terrarium Provisions.”
