SYSK Selects: How Wills Work

# Summary

Josh and Chuck dive deep into the often-overlooked world of wills and estate planning, exploring everything from the basics of creating a legal will to the quirky and outright bizarre stipulations people have included in theirs throughout history. The episode breaks down different types of wills—from holographic handwritten ones to ironclad attorney-drafted versions—explains who gets to make decisions about your stuff after you die, and reveals why it's surprisingly easier to cut your kid out of a will than your spouse. Along the way, they share some genuinely wild stories about people who've left their fortunes to strangers from phone books, turned their ashes into comic books, or created trusts so a tree could own itself.
