I see dead people... explicitly acknowledging their wills
Ok, here's an agument that will probably get laughed out of court:
In Wisconsin, one of the conditions that must be met for a will to be validly executed is that the will "must be signed by two or more witnesses, each of whom signed within a reasonable time after witnessing any of the following:
(a) The signing of the will...
(b) The testator's implicit or explicit acknowledgement of the testator's signature on the will, within the conscious presence of each of the witnesses.
(c) The testator's implicit or explicit acknowledgement of tht will, within the conscious presence of each of the witnesses." Wis. Stats. § 853.03.
However, § 851.035 defines "conscious presence" as "within the range of any of a person's senses" (emphasis added). So what happens if you (1) acknowledge your will in front of one witness, who then signs it, (2) die, (3) come back as a ghost, (4) find someone with a well-developed sixth sense, and explicitly acknowledge your will in front of them, and (5) they sign your will before anyone claims shit under intestacy? Do you just get screwed?
Probably, because the law treats the undead like second-class citizens. It's wrong, and something needs to be done about it. I mean, let's say you get bitten by a vampire - does that mean your shit automatically gets probated? Or, can you name yourself the beneficiary for your own life insurance policy if you anticipate becoming a zombie?
Hell, the law doesn't even acknowledge that the undead are people too, decomposing though they may be. If you prick them, do they not bleed? Well, probably not. Simply because they shuffle along and eat brains, or are invisible, and tend to prey on the living, doesn't mean that they don't have feelings too.
Serously, how do I get off on these tangents? Fuck it.
