When someone dies, his or her will is the document that outlines what the deceased wants to leave his or her survivors, doling out everything from money to irreplaceable heirlooms and, sometimes, even one final jab at enemies on the way out. The potential inheritances can sometimes become contentious, leading to legal wrangling and high emotions, especially when there is a lot of money at stake. Many episodes feature the stories involved in the wills of celebrities, including the mysterious, handwritten will of eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes.
