Unusual Wills — Portuguese Style

A recent BBC article discusses an assortment of unusual wills from Portugal and elsewhere.  See Patrick Jackson, Where there’s a will there’s a whim, BBC News, Jan. 17, 2007.

For example, Luis Carlos de Noronha Cabral da Camara picked 70 people at random from a Lisbon phone book and included them in his will thirteen years before he died at age 42 unmarried and without children.

Special thanks to  Prof. Joel C. Dobris of the University of California-Davis for bringing this article to my attention.
