I knew this would be you. You wouldn't even have to say thank you for the pizza: it would be delivered to you and the remains (if any) taken away without any human contact being needed. Your utopia, yes?

No, you wouldn't. These are some of the highest-priced lawyers money can buy. Any man who can leave fifty mill and a mansion can afford the cream of Harvard Law School, or whatever.

Sorry; you'll have to remain on the poverty line with a mere fifty mill. Maybe you can start an appeal?

Anyone who wishes to can consider this their chance to pose questions about the will. Essentially, you're in the solicitor's office and can ask what you want before signing. Or you can just grab the deal as is.

This kind of arrogance will be what wins me the case. Contracts are literal as ****, sloppy writing is to be interpreted as such.

Take the 50 mil, give each of your uncle's lawyers a bribe to get them on your side, and then walk away with the rest.

Do the terms of the will include police payoffs so they won't show up at your house and arrest you face-to-face if you hire a hitman online and have him record a murder for your own sick amusement?

Is payment for the staff and the mansion upkeep already paid or is it taken out of our 50 M?

Arrogance is what gets lawyers up in the morning. They'll eat you alive.

These people are unbribe-able. Steps have been taken to ensure it is so. Nobody's quite sure which of their relatives have been kidnapped, but let's just say there's a cabin in the woods somewhere, with a man who spends his evenings promising his AK47 "Soon, my pet. Soon ...."

You're free to do as you like with the money. Whether they will decide to double-cross you and report you after/before the murder, I can't say. That's a chance you'll have to take.

It's already paid. Uncle Eggnog made his money in Trump futures and this fifty mill is a drop in the ocean compared to the rest of his estate.

This isn't very realistic.

It's hypothetical. What's unrealistic about it? Ain't you never watched Brewster's Millions?

You have fifty mil. You can buy whatever you want. Maybe one that looks exactly like Harley Quinn, if you want.

Can we be test subjects for the singularity?
