You Get The Sum of One Dollar

    I’m thinking of contesting my dad’s will. I can’t actually because it’s a moot point as it was a will for my mom and dad both. I think he would have gotten a kick out of me contesting it though and that makes me laugh.

    I wouldn’t contest it because it’s unfair although anything that doesn’t have me at a higher proportion than my siblings is essentially unfair. It’s because of what he put at the end of the will.

    When my brother and sister were in the room going over the stuff in his safety deposit box with my mom, among the contents was the will. All of the standard stuff and everything split equally among my siblings and I. However, at the end he put in what is standard a lot of times and particularly in the movies that if any of us should try and contest the will we would only get the sum of $1.

    Gary said Dad told him about that a few years ago when they had it drawn up as he was proud of it I’m sure. I don’t want anything from a will. Knowing it would crack him up and as a bonus be the best dollar I ever got is pretty tempting.
