I was thinking about this the other night. Several years ago I saw the 1927 silent mystery movie The cat and the Canary, and a couple years later I read the original play, I really ought to see the movie again, but I digress.
I'm not sure if anybody here's familiar with it, but in the story, an old rich man dies, and all of his heirs are hoping to inherit the fortune, but the kick in the head is the will will NOT be read until 20 years after the anniversary of the day he died...now, I find this a VERY interesting idea, and I wonder if anybody has actually tried this in real life. You gotta admit, if you thought your relatives were all a bunch of blood suckers just waiting for you to kick off so they could inherit, that would probably fix them so they weren't in as big a hurry since they'd be middle aged to old aged by the time they finally got the money.
What do you think? Do you think anybody's ever done it or do you think you'd do it if you wanted to be spiteful to your children and whoever else?
