    I remember this bit of the case.


    OP do you currently give regularly to the charities you wish to support in your will? If not I would start doing this now to take out any suggestion in future you are doing it out of spite.

    I think it would be a much more positive final gesture to the world if you made a positive choice to do good to others rather than try to restrict the good you do from a few people you don't like. It's your final gesture and a last chance to let other people know who you were. Giving to the deserving's more important than withholding from the unworthy.

    If you left your organs for donation you could add 56 years of life to their recipients.

    Of course you couldn't then refuse them to your relatives, but, being a decent person, that wouldn't put you off offering the gift of life to those left behind.
