A wealthy old man was lying on his bed when it occurred to him that he had never made a will.
So, he called his lawyer to help him draft one.
The next day, the lawyer arrived, and the old man said,
“I want 25% of my money to go to charity. After all, I’ve taken so much; I should give something back.”
“How generous of you,” the lawyer replied. “I’ll make sure that happens right away.”
“I also want 25% to go to my son. He’s been waiting for the day he could get his hands on my money,” the old man added.
“Okay, I’ll make sure he gets 25%,” the lawyer responded.
“And the rest should go to my wife, on the condition that she remarries after I pass,” the old man said.
A bit puzzled, the lawyer asked, “Okay, I’ll make sure that happens. But may I ask why you want her to remarry? It’s a rather unusual request.”
The old man grinned and said,
“Because then someone else can worry about her spending my money!” 😅
