#7: Anything For the Donkeys
In the world of family estates and wills, it’s customary for most assets to be bequeathed to family members. The assumption often is that when you have a family, your wealth will naturally go to them. However, this story takes an unexpected turn. In this case, the great-grandmother made a rather unconventional choice by leaving a significant portion of her money to a donkey sanctuary instead of her family. While there’s nothing against supporting donkeys, it’s undeniably an unusual decision that may raise eyebrows.
The decision to prioritize a donkey sanctuary over her family members likely held personal significance for the great-grandmother, reflecting her passions and values. It serves as a reminder that wills can be deeply personal expressions of one’s wishes and values, even if they diverge from conventional expectations.
