every so often i recall that will readings, a now antiquated practice, has been so normalized by media using it as a plot device that people think that's what happens. that it's real. it's not real okay? ppl do not sit down and read a 30+ page technical legal document out loud. it is a fun thing hollywood and books do for the drama and the narrative of it all
#currently#did anyone read that nancy drew book where there's a Will hidden in a clock#very fun#anyway iirc this practice came about bc people were illiterate.#i promise this isn't me being nitpicky for no reason lol i just think it's fun trivia#also honestly grieving and probate and dealing with loss is so hard that i think we could stand to make the process more transparent#every single tv show about law lies about how it works. hope that helps. 💜#so does maggie stiefvater's the raven cycle but we've already discussed that at length#this is not legal advice#i'm not a lawyer!!!!!! i just work here
