And to my LCO I leave..........

[LAWNS AND MOWER]

Just curious if any of ya'll have been remembered in the wills of your deceased customers? I have 2 wealthy widowers who are each worth a gazillion $$$$ and have no children. Who better to give all that money to than their dependable LCO.

I was left a five-figure amount by one of my customers a couple years back.

I had been promised a customers 91 superduty dumptruck but when he died his widow "conveniently" lost all copies of the will so she ended up selling it instead.

I feel fortunate if the last bill gets paid.

I have some older widows that I have had for years and years. I never thought about the possibility of being remembered in a will.
I'm not that fortunate.
Something new to think about though!

a buddy of mine, who owns a landscape company mowed this old womens home. she had no family, and on occasion he would do some odds and ends for her. She passed away and left him the house, and 3 acres of land. so you never know what those little extras will get you.

WOW!
I guess you should kinda be extra nice to these type of people... you may get lucky! Not had this happen yet. None of my customers have died, fortunately.

I´m sure laws will vary from state to state, but in NC, wills are public record. Might be worth looking into to get your paws on that dumptruck.

I have a good friend who used to take a meal down and talk with this old guy daily in his neighborhood. The guy lived in a shack and wore rags. He ended up dying and left my friend his money and stocks worth over 8 million dollars. The guy was paranoid about spending money and saved it all and invested in his lifetime. I need luck like that!!!

Yes they are-if they were entered into probate. If someone takes the will and conveniently destrys it and the estate goes intestate (sp?) then the property is divided up according to state law-in this case the widow received 40% the children divided the remaining 60% everyone else regardless of promises was SOL.

Another landscaper ended up buying the truck (7.3 w/5speed, long wheelbase with 10 foot Lembco body, 66k miles) for $12500.
