The Case of the Vengeful Will

The following will provisions are reported in Jerry Buchmeyer, et cetera, 70 Tex. B.J. 827 (2007):

A will recently probated modified the usual instruction to ‘pay all just debts and obligations.’ Instead, the will provided: ‘None of my debts and credit cards (to be) are to be paid. Let them all go bad and mail each creditor a death certificate.’

Among the instructions for his funeral were these: “I forbid that my ex-wife attend my funeral activities or any future things with the family! I personally hope her and her mother Rot in Hell. I want her to know publicly how much resentment I have for her.”
