As an elderly, wealthy gentleman lay in his bed, facing the twilight of his life, a sudden realization struck him like a bolt of lightning—he had never written a will. Despite all the riches he had accumulated over the years, he hadn’t decided what to do with it once he was gone.

Determined to fix that oversight, he immediately called for his longtime lawyer. The very next day, the lawyer arrived, notebook in hand and ready to take down the man’s final wishes.

“I want a quarter of my fortune to be given to charity,” the old man began, his voice soft but sincere. “I’ve taken enough in my life. Time to give something back.”

The lawyer nodded with appreciation. “That’s a noble gesture,” he said. “I’ll make sure it’s carried out exactly as you wish.”

The old man then turned his attention to family matters. “Give another 25% to my son,” he said with a smirk. “He’s been waiting for this moment since he learned how to count.”

The lawyer chuckled politely. “Of course. Your son will get his share.”

Then came the twist.

“I want the remaining 50% to go to my wife,” the old man declared, pausing for dramatic effect, “but only if she remarries after I’m gone.”

That one made the lawyer raise an eyebrow. “That’s… an interesting condition,” he said. “Mind if I ask why?”

With a grin that revealed just how sharp his wit still was, the old man whispered, “Simple. I want at least one man to regret that I ever died.”
