These jokes about wills and inheritance are painfully, perfectly true

If you have ever sat in a solicitor’s office, had a family conversation that took an unexpected turn, or simply watched siblings transform at the mere mention of who gets what, these jokes are for you. From the elderly gentleman with his new hearing aids and very flexible will, to the one-liner that belongs on more headstones than you would expect, this is the funny side of one of life’s least funny subjects. The last one about the Living Trust will resonate with every parent who has ever received a phone call that started with “Mum, I was just wondering…”

Seems an elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%. The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, “your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.”

To which the gentleman said, “Oh, I haven’t told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I’ve changed my will three times!”

Some great one-liners about Wills …

“Where there’s a will, there’s a relative.”

“I told you I was sick!”

“Nothing brings out sibling rivalry like inheritance and Monopoly.”

“My kids think a ‘Living Trust’ is an ATM.”
