The Hidden Will

Do you destroy the handwritten will?

The Hidden Will

Your wealthy uncle passes away. While cleaning his study, you find a hidden handwritten will dated a week before his death. In it, he leaves his entire fortune to a controversial political group you deeply despise. The current legal will leaves everything to a struggling children's hospital. You are the only person who knows this new document exists. If you burn it, the hospital gets the money.

Do you destroy the handwritten will?

Then ask

  • Does a dead person have a right to control their money?
  • What if he left the money to your irresponsible sibling instead of a political group?
  • Are you willing to steal to fund a good cause?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
