On One Condition	comment	A character learns that a distant relative has passed and bequeathed to them a substantial fortune/estate. There is, of course, a catch in the will that must be obeyed. Should it be violated, everything will pass to another person. The catch is usually one of the following: The character must spend the night in the deceased's impossibly large mansion, which may or may not be a Haunted House. Either way, expect someone in the will to adopt a transparent ghost disguise (perhaps a bedsheet) and try to disqualify everyone else by scaring them off. The character is explicitly warned they must not harm "X" — which prompts "X" to move in with them and become a shameless moocher. The character must marry, either a specific person, or simply marry someone. The character simply must stay alive, because the will stipulates another will inherit all if anything "unforeseen" happens to the main character. This is usually a setup for said secondary character to try and kill off the primary beneficiary and Make It Look Like an Accident. The catch is essentially a foreshadowed Reset Button to quickly restore the status quo, since making the characters of a show extremely wealthy will almost always kill the inherent drama or central premise of the show by implying that they could simply buy their way out of whatever Zany Scheme they got into. Thus, unless an inheritance is part of the plot from the start, whatever the character inherits, they're going to blow it by the end. They may do so by accident or purposely after deciding Celebrity Is Overrated and no amount of wealth is worth the humiliating restrictions. A common subversion is for the characters to not blow the catch, but end up with nothing because the estate is heavily in debt and is promptly seized by a bank or the IRS for back taxes. Another way to play it is to make the inheritance "worthless", as in a promised collection of "priceless" artwork turns out to be a pile of incomprehensible impressionist scribbles that are only "priceless" in that no one could ever be found who actually wanted to buy them. Or, it could simply be "worth-less", as in they get Great Uncle Beaureguard's $1 million fortune, but it's Confederate money. In Real Life, it would actually be worth a pretty penny to collectors, but obviously no longer worth face value. Another possible ending is for the supposedly dead relative to show up alive, and reveal that the whole affair was a Secret Test of Character. Very likely to overlap with A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted. See Also: Never Win the Lottery, Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie, Scarpia Ultimatum, Game Between Heirs, Prestige Peril, some cases of Divorce Assets Conflict (especially those involving a wacky prenup), and Silly Will.

On One Condition / int_15870207	comment	In one episode of El ChapulÃn Colorado, a man and his wife went to his late grandfather's house because there was a clause in the will stating that he must spend a night there to claim it. The grandfather had a butler and a maid, both of whom tried to scare away the couple to get the house. The plan failed but the couple, feeling they didn't need the house, let the butler and the maid keep it.

To collect it, however, they have to spend $1 million in a week. The task falls upon Punky and her pals when Henry comes down with chickenpox. Come the end of the week, and the total seems to show that Punky succeeded—until Allen accidentally spills some loose change from a candy bar he bought with the money from the million. All ends well, however, as Glomer bought a lottery ticket that cashed in big.

The estate is supposedly haunted, as 12 former Barons have all died in suspicious accidents there. (Yep, he's number 13.) Baloo survives long enough to uncover that the estate's caretakers were behind the deaths, they're arrested, and he enjoys the newfound wealth for about 3 seconds until a banker shows up and tells him the estate must be liquidated to satisfy outstanding debts (and it won't be enough).

He winds up violating the terms of the will by going home early, stating that the money isn't worth the risk of sticking around and possibly getting killed by the Evil Wizard Edmund Stallybrass. However, he does get twenty thousand dollars as a consolation prize. The Hand of the Necromancer adds that Perry also bequeathed him some magical items once owned by the wizard Esdrias Blackleach, with no conditions attached, though the items came with their own set of dangers.

On One Condition / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons subverted the "spending a night in the haunted house" version. The whole thing is set up in the first scene, but the night passes by in a single scene transition, with the family exiting the manor after "the best night's sleep I've had in years". Doubly subverted as the inheritance proves to be not that great to begin with. According to the executor of the will, 'spending a night in a haunted house' is a "standard clause". Played with at the end of the episode "Homer Loves Flanders" lampshading the Aesop Amnesia trope of Homer hating Flanders again a week later. Homer announces his Great Uncle Boris died leaving them a haunted house. He spends a weekend there to prove him wrong... which ends with the family in the house, screaming in terror. Played straight in the episode "Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in 'The Curse of the Flying Hellfish'": At the end of WWII, Abe Simpson's squad, the "Flying Hellfish" set up a collection of priceless German paintings to be inherited by the last survivor of the squad. During the episode, one of the last three members dies, leaving only Abe and Burns remaining. Burns spends the rest of the episode trying to kill Abe, who eventually gets fed up and dishonorably discharges Burns from the squad, thus expelling him from the inheritance. Of course, because Status Quo Is God, the U.S. State Department suddenly arrives to confiscate the paintings and give them to their rightful owner (a rude German yuppie) for diplomatic purposes. In another episode, Abe inherited one hundred and some thousands of dollars from a girlfriend. Her lawyer told him he'd have to spend a night in a haunted house but then he explained he was joking. Nothing was required of him as a condition to keep the money. "Double, Double, Boy in Trouble" has Bart switching places with an identical rich boy named Simon, and it turns out that his step-siblings are planning to kill him to get his inheritance. Lampshaded by Mr. Burns, who tells "Simon" that he had many siblings, but since they all died of different causes, he inherited the family fortune, clueing Bart in on the fact that he's being targeted.

On One Condition / int_2bbcacd9	comment	A frequent plot in Looney Tunes shorts. The Wabbit Who Came to Supper: Bugs Bunny moves in with Elmer Fudd when Fudd's Uncle Louie wills him his entire fortune provided he does not harm any animals, especially rabbits. In the end, Elmer DOES manage to curb his anger long enough to get the money... and immediately loses it all (and then some) to taxes. From Hare To Heir uses both the "humiliating restrictions" and "murder" plots together. A broke Yosemite Sam inherits a large lump sum of cash on the condition that the executor of the will (namely, Bugs Bunny) will deduct whatever amount he deems appropriate whenever Sam loses his temper. As the amount left inevitably dwindles due to his famous hair-trigger rage, he tries to kill off Bugs before it's all gone. In the end, Sam manages to suppress his temper and demonstrates by having his servants rough him up, but Bugs gives an aside to the audience revealing Sam had used up all the money by that point. In The Fair Haired Hare, Sam builds his house over Bugs's rabbit hole; a judge grants them joint custody, with the stipulation that if one of them dies, the other will get full rights to the property. Sam's poorly disguised murder attempts start soon after. In "Lighter Than Hare", there's a rare non-monetary instance where Bugs Bunny pulls this with a robot going against a drone Yosemite Sam Of Outer Space uses (all dialogue in stilted robotic voice): The feature-length movie Daffy Duck's Quackbusters had Daffy goldbricking his way into inheriting the massive fortune of millionaire J.P. Cubish. He thinks he's in the clear once Cubish dies, only to find out that a clause in the will that Daffy be ethical with the money causes a chunk of it to vanish into the spirit world every time he does something dirty. There's also the one-shot short Dough Ray Me-ow where a pet parrot named Louie finds out that Heathcliff, the dimwit cat he lives with (and can't stand), is actually the heir to their owner's fortune. Upon learning this, Louie tries to bump Heathcliff off so he can take his place, but the usually accident-prone cat suddenly proves very resistant to harm. He seems to succeed by the end, as Heathcliff's nine lives start leaving him. But Louie brags about the fortune, causing the lives to return and Heathcliff to declare that if he can't take it with him, he's not leaving!

Whoever wins gets the entire fortune, even if it isn't Pierce. The group subverts the dead man's agenda by agreeing that whoever wins will just hand it over to Pierce of course. However, since Pierce only has six friends, that leaves an empty seat for his late father's personal assistant, Gilbert Lawson, to sneak into the game with the intent of stealing the inheritance (because he was secretly Pierce's illegitimate, mixed-race, half-brother). Unfortunately for Gilbert, their father anticipated this turn of events and prepared an additional clause just for him, requiring that he signs a document agreeing not to reveal he's Cornelius Hawthorne's son. If Lawson doesn't, it goes back to Pierce anyway. In the end, Pierce and his half-brother share the fortune and discover they are happy to be brothers. Pierce leaves millions of dollars to Troy on the condition that he circumnavigate the globe in his yacht. Additionally, all of the study group is required to answer a series of questions while hooked up to lie detectors to receive their part of the inheritance without knowing what they'll receive, ostensibly to ensure they had no part in his death.

Since he did just that, he won't inherit more than 30 knuts. Sirius Black's will in Harry Breaks Free. All properties that are no longer on his possession or part of his estate by the time of his death will no longer be part of his will. All properties bequeathed to beneficiaries who fail to outlive him by 30 days will become part of the remainder of his estate. In cases where said beneficiary is the victim of foul play, the inheritance will instead be dissolved and go to charity. Any properties encumbered by debts the respective beneficiaries don't want to assume liability for will revert to the remainder of his estate. Severus Snape stands to inherit 10 books of his choosing from the Black Library but only after Hermione Granger, who stands to inherit 25 books of her choosing, gets her pick. Growing Up Black: After Harry is declared dead, a clause in James' will transfers his inheritance to Remus Lupin. Later, Harry gets to inherit Marius' fortune so long as he ensures that Clytemnestra gets to continue enjoying the same lavish lifestyle that she's used to. In Harry Prongs Tatum, James Potter's father only allowed James to inherit a part of the Potter fortune. Most of it would only be released if James fulfilled several conditions. Since Voldemort didn't allow James to live long enough, Harry will inherit that money if he fulfills the conditions. Heir of Prince: Eileen Prince (Severus Snape's mother) disappointed her family for marrying a muggle. Her father then left the Prince Family's fortune (and the title of Head of the Prince Family) to her son with the stipulation that, if Severus sires a son whose mother is a pureblood, the son will inherit once he becomes seventeen years old.

As this had indeed happened, all the money and property went to him. The idea was that the Baron wanted to give his inheritance to someone who would have some chance of erasing the stain on his family name. Baron Frankenstein left instructions to prevent his will's contents from being disclosed until a hundred years after he was born, meaning Frederick had until then to fulfill the condition.

Unfortunately for Al, Peggy was taking birth control behind his back and the inheritance goes to the lawyer and Al's imprisoned relative. Al got his revenge by altering the results of a pregnancy test to trick Peggy into thinking she got pregnant anyway. He claimed half a million dollars wouldn't pay that fun.

This wouldn't be such a big deal if not for the fact that Mrs. Lavish's horrible stepchildren inherit the shares if Mr. Fusspot dies... note There's another advantage — the Assassin's Guild will not take a second contract out on someone, technically granting Moist some slight degree of safety. Also, no self-respecting Assassin would even consider accepting a contract on a dog, so Mr. Fusspot is safe on that end, too. Moving Pictures possibly as a reference to Doorways in the Sand (see above). Victor is left a large yearly sum while he is at the Unseen University studying to become a wizard with the caveat that he never scores under 80% on his exams, to ensure that he actually tries. However, Victor very carefully scores above 80 but too low to pass, to avoid having to deal with the stress and danger of being a full wizard (and the fact that the bequest ends once he graduates). The wizards eventually catch on (the time he passed and told the university he'd actually got a question wrong was a hint), and give him an exam with only one question: What is your name? Victor winds up leaving the university and not taking the test anyway; he heads off to Holy Wood instead, so when fellow student Ponder Stibbons needs a new exam paper the examiner just gives him the one from Victor's desk. Unseen Academicals begins with one of these, with the variant that the money is left to a university rather than an individual. The bequest from the Bigger estate will revert to the family unless the university plays in a game of Foot-the-Ball, or Poore Boys' Funne, within a specified time, and Ponder notices that they haven't played a game in so long that they're nearly out of time to play one before the bequest reverts. It's paying for a lot of the food budget, so the wizards have to take it seriously.

Sedgwick's seven-million-dollar estate. And he can't simply give away whatever he had before. Even while attempting to become penniless, Montgomery must show some business skills. Donations to charity mustn't go far beyond the usually donated by other rich people. It doesn't help things that, by the time Montgomery Brewster was informed of his uncle's death and wealth, it was a little less than one year from the deadline and he had already inherited one million dollars from his paternal grandfather Edwin P. Brewster, who was the reason of Uncle James' unusual set of conditions — James Sedgwick hated Edwin Brewster to the point of not wanting his heir to have anything that came from Edwin in any way. This was also the reason Sedgwick wouldn't allow his nephew to simply donate Edwin's inheritance away: he believed Edwin Brewster would be remembered and praised for this.

The books inside the library are instead bequeathed to Marion Paroo, who was the only person who showed Madison any kindness during his life; it's implied that Madison did this because everyone in River City thinks that Marion is an uppity snob, so he shrewdly arranged the deal to make sure that she would always have a job there.

Despite some moaning and groaning, the family makes it through the night. Only to discover that the masks have warped their faces to be perfect replicas of the masks, leaving them very rich but having to live in shadow for the rest of their lives. "Uncle Simon" was even more vicious. The titular character is looked after by his niece, who comes to resent his gruffness toward her and eventually kills him by making him fall down the stairs. Uncle Simon, apparently aware that she was interested only in his money, names the young woman the sole beneficiary of his large estate — with the condition that she look after his last project: a robot. As time passes, the robot takes on more and more of Uncle Simon's old habits, prompting the niece to try to destroy it... only to discover that it can't be done. She realizes that she's now stuck with a functionally immortal (24/7, in fact) version of her uncle — and if she doesn't want to forfeit to his alma mater, she'll have to stay with him forever. As far as she's concerned, it's well Worth It.

Second, the land they gave to Pennycross has to remain in use as part of the university, and if it doesn't, McQuaid Hall, the university's entrance, most of the quad and parts of two other buildings will all revert to the McQuaid family. Using McQuaid Hall for their annual haunted house event has kept the property from reverting, but if the haunted house doesn't reopen in a timely manner, the McQuaid family can reclaim it all, which would be a massive problem for the university. Eventually, the rightful heir to the property does reclaim it... but then donates it to the university permanently, with the conditions that it's renamed the Dana Fenton Building (after his wife) and is converted into office space for the college's adjunct professors.

However, it was a plot by Scrooge McDuck. Donald had previously located a sunken yacht belonging to Scrooge and offered to salvage it for fifty thousand dollars but Scrooge refused to pay more than two thousand dollars for it. After Scrooge sabotaged Donald's other attempts to earn that money, Donald accepted Scrooge's proposition. To further antagonize Donald, Scrooge saw to it that all conventional means to salvage the yacht would cost Donald three thousand dollars. Donald and his nephews then tried to outsmart Scrooge by buying several loads of ping-pong balls to float the yacht back to the surface. When Donald collected the inheritance, he also learned that it came from Scrooge. For a while, Donald believed he would keep the three thousand dollars but the company that manufactured the ping-pong balls collected the money as payment for them and the collector told them that the company belongs to Scrooge. In another Carl Barks story, Scrooge had a pocket watch that happened to be a family heirloom. When one of his relatives died, he was required to present the pocket watch when claiming the inheritance. Scrooge then took it to Gyro Gearloose for repairs (The terms of the will also stated that the pocket watch must be working perfectly when presented to the executors of the will). Gyro noticed that a small stone that used to be encrusted to the watch seemed to be missing but it didn't worry Scrooge, who was used to the empty spot. The inheritance consisted solely of the stone. An Italian Donald Duck story revolves around Donald Duck, Fethry Duck, and Gladstone Gander receiving an inheritance from a distant uncle, who has a secret condition for who will be given his estate, which will be revealed after spending the night in his old castle. Donald and Fethry agree to team up and share the estate to try and offset Gladstone's infuriating luck. After several misadventures during the night, the executor of the will reveals that the uncle wanted his inheritor to be like him; lazy and plagued with bad luck. Donald has bad luck but works hard. Gladstone is lazy but is extremely lucky. So, the inheritance goes to Fethry, who is both lazy and has bad luck. Unfortunately for Fethry and Donald, the estate consists mostly of a massive debt, which won't be covered by selling off its assets, meaning that Gladstone's luck saved him by having him lose the inheritance. In Die 13 Trilliarden Erbschaft, Scrooge has been missing for so long he's been declared dead. As soon as Donald and Gladstone are informed Scrooge left his fortune to them, they hurry to spend it without listening to the rest of the will. Huey, Dewey, and Louie read it and find out Scrooge, not wanting his nephews to squander his fortune, set a condition preventing them from inheriting his estate until they add one million dollars to it. By the time Donald and Gladstone are informed of that condition, they've already spent nearly that amount. Gladstone decides to earn that money by selling lottery tickets, offering Scrooge's fortune as the first prize and buying a ticket so he can win. He does win but Scrooge turns out to be alive and is upset that the extra money caused the money bin to collapse. He's entertaining the idea of changing the will to include Huey, Dewey, and Louie as beneficiaries.

The catch is that he has to go to a certain school to meet a suitable wife. While that in itself isn't a big deal, in the first episode a girl talks to him through a high window and claims to be his biological sister. She says she's going to marry him, also attends the same school, and to make matters worse, she won't reveal who she is! So poor Shougo has to figure out which of the many girls clamoring over him is his sister, so as to avoid marrying her. It's ultimately revealed in the light novels (the anime ended before that point since the novels had yet to finish) that they're Not Blood Siblings — while Konoe, the girl who'd spoken to him, is indeed Kumagoro Mikadono's biological daughter, Shougo is not Kumagoro's biological son. Consequently, they can safely have a relationship.

Friends of The Un-Favorite stole the body to prevent burial, Lord Peter discovers the will in a book, family disputes erupt, and the final touch is Lord Peter's deducing that from the water stain in the book but not the will, that the other son had hidden the will so The Unfavorite would not find out about the condition in time.

Because of that, Mayor Bulloney tried to invoke an old law to have Colonel Cudster pronounced Legally Dead and the gold mine confiscated, only to find Cudster had bequeathed the mine to another in his will. Unfortunately, the terms of the will identified Cudster's daughter Cowlamity Kate "and her husband" as heirs, meaning it wouldn't be valid unless Kate was actually married by the end of the day her father was pronounced dead, leading her to ask Dakota to marry her (which he agreed to) in order to save her inheritance. The wedding almost happened, but a letter from Cudster, dated just the day before, arrived in time to prevent him from being declared dead. At which point, both Kate and Dakota declared they were not quite ready for marriage.

But, to receive it, he must spend one night in the mansion or he will be disinherited. And, if he dies, the inheritance goes to the butler, cook, and gardener, all of whom are wielding large weapons... And then Fred finds out one important fact about dear uncle Giggles. He's not dead yet. The whole thing was a prank — the real condition was to see if Fred had a sense of humor like his uncle's. "Well," says Fred as he smiles evilly at his uncle, "I'm kind of a kook myself..." He then pulls a large weapon of his own on Giggles and proceeds to chase him and his servants around as he adds, "Not rich, but still a kook!"

Unfortunately, for the Daltons, Uncle Henry also demanded that the Daltons brought Lucky Luke as a witness to confirm the fulfillment of the condition. While the other Daltons were trying to contain the enraged Joe Dalton upon hearing this, the lawyer who informed them of Uncle Henry's death told them that, if they fail, the money will go to charity. The Daltons agreed to offer Lucky Luke a share of the inheritance in exchange from his help (they were planning to kill him afterwards). Lucky Luke tricked the Daltons into thinking he'd agreed while he actually helped their targets to fake their deaths. At the end, when the Daltons thought they were about to get the money, they actually met the judge and the jurors ready to convict them for the murder attempts with Lucky Luke as witness. The Daltons were sent back to prison and Uncle Henry's money went to the Henry Dalton Foundation, which took care of orphans.

After preventing some crooks' attempt to steal the money, their leader finally explains what's really happening: an eccentric millionaire named Carl Verril, in an effort to get his son Vincent to learn to respect money, bequeathed one million dollars to him on the condition that he spend it all in four days without investing more than one hundred thousand dollars on any one purchase and without making any money. If he does so, he gets ten million dollars. If he doesn't, Carl's nephew Larry gets the ten million. Unfortunately, the very night Vincent was informed of the terms of his father's will, he needed an emergency operation and couldn't spend the money by himself, so he made a deal with Batman: Batman does the spending for him and, in return, Vincent will donate nine million dollars for charity and keep only one million for himself. The lawyer accepted the idea on the condition that Batman never tells anyone why he needs to spend the million dollars. Larry then hired some thugs to steal the money so it won't be spent. After learning all of this, Superman helps Batman by selling him ten trophies of Superman's past adventures for one hundred thousand dollars each — receiving the full million in total. Which he promptly donates to charity.

Seems easy for guys like them, right? Here's the catch â€” they had to stay without their proton packs. To defeat the house (which eventually tries its best to kill them) they have to use the wiring inside to turn it into one big ghost trap. Unfortunately the house is SO haunted that spiritual energy takes up most of the structure, so it collapses in on itself and they're forced to leave it or be crushed inside. Sadly, the lawyer sees this before time runs out, and is forced by the conditions of the will to deny them the cash since there was no self-preservation escape clause provided in the will; they HAD to stay in the house even if doing so killed them.

Woody is stolen by a greedy toy collector named Al, discovering that he was once the main character of a popular 1950s western-puppet TV series called Woody's Roundup, and Al plans on selling him and the rest of the collection of dolls based on the main characters (Jessie the cowgirl, Stinky Pete the prospector, and Bullseye the horse) to a famous toy museum in Tokyo, Japan for a huge profit. Woody originally wishes to escape back to Andy immediately, but the only problem is that the museum is only willing to buy the collection if he, the main character and most valuable piece, is in it. Therefore if Woody leaves, not only will the other pieces of the collection not be able to get into the museum, but also will be returned into storage, likely forever. Woody finally comes up with an alternative, bringing Jessie and Bullseye home with him, while Stinky Pete ends up in a different home, finding himself to be much happier now that he's being loved and played with.

The gang manages to solve the case — as you'd expect, the lawyers got creative with — and Scooby wins by default... except it's all Confederate bills (once backed by a government but now that government doesn't exist). Confederate banknotes are worth a lot of money to historical collectors. This never occurred to the writers, nor the Scooby Gang, who treat it as a total loss. There's also the question of how the Colonel was able to keep a mansion that size if all his liquid capital was in a type of money that he couldn't use to pay his taxes or grocery bills with. The later film Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers has Shaggy inherit a mansion and estate, complete with the money to hold it for a lifetime, from his uncle Beauregard (no relation to the character from the aforementioned episode). The mansion is haunted, the local hicks enjoy shooting at anyone related to Beauregard, the creepy butler feels entitled to Shaggy's inherited fortune, and the colonel hid said fortune — a king's ransom worth of family jewels — somewhere on the estate, hidden behind a treasure hunt that he creates for Shaggy to solve. The ghost exterminators that Shaggy calls, the Boo Brothers, turn out to be a trio of ghosts themselves, and although the film's villain was impersonating most of the ghosts, the haunting by the colonel was real. Not to mention that there was an escaped circus gorilla running around as well as a wild bear on the property. In the end, Shaggy puts the family jewels in a trust fund for orphans and gives the mansion to the Boo Brothers. In the Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? episode "The Nightmare Ghost of Psychic U!", the titular university's founder made a will saying that, if it closes, the property goes to his nearest living relative.

The Earl's devious nephew's are next in line and try to trick him into leaving early with help from Boris and Natasha. They fail, but at the final reading, what seemed like a birthmark on Bullwinkle's foot was really an imprint from a bath mat he stepped on every day, disqualifying him. The villains then receive the "million-pound note", which turned out to be a literal million-pound IOU. And then it turned out Bullwinkle really did have the birthmark on his other foot.

Turns out Jack was justified in his fear as he was Not Quite Dead. Although, he could have fooled a lot of people due to lack of pulse, Rigor Mortis, decomposition... There was no guarantee that the Reset Button would be pressed as it was broadcast as the last of that series and was filmed as the pilot. This could count as a subversion as it wasn't the 'one condition' that Ted and Dougal failed on, it was the 'priority condition': the author of the will wasn't dead!

A broke Yosemite Sam inherits a large lump sum of cash on the condition that the executor of the will (namely, Bugs Bunny) will deduct whatever amount he deems appropriate whenever Sam loses his temper. As the amount left inevitably dwindles due to his famous hair-trigger rage, he tries to kill off Bugs before it's all gone. In the end, Sam manages to suppress his temper and demonstrates by having his servants rough him up, but Bugs gives an aside to the audience revealing Sam had used up all the money by that point.

Victor is left a large yearly sum while he is at the Unseen University studying to become a wizard with the caveat that he never scores under 80% on his exams, to ensure that he actually tries. However, Victor very carefully scores above 80 but too low to pass, to avoid having to deal with the stress and danger of being a full wizard (and the fact that the bequest ends once he graduates). The wizards eventually catch on (the time he passed and told the university he'd actually got a question wrong was a hint), and give him an exam with only one question: What is your name? Victor winds up leaving the university and not taking the test anyway; he heads off to Holy Wood instead, so when fellow student Ponder Stibbons needs a new exam paper the examiner just gives him the one from Victor's desk.

However, in order to inherit, she must go to Dimity's old home (a honey-coloured stone cottage near the village of Finch, said to be in the Cotswolds), search through Dimity's decades-long correspondence with Lori's mother, and write an introduction to a soon-to-be-published collection of the "Aunt Dimity" stories, with attorney Willis Sr. checking up on her progress via phone and his son Bill accompanying her to England. The condition isn't particularly onerous, since Lori has help and her expenses are fully covered, including anything that might distract her (like her credit card bills).

He can hire anybody and pay them whatever he wants but has to receive actual value in return. He can't give away more than 5% and he can't lose more than 5% gambling. (Which backfires, as one of his insane long-shot bets intended to just squander money ends up winning.) He can't destroy anything inherently valuable (no buying a dozen Picassos and using them as firewood, though he does buy a valuable stamp and use it as actual postage, getting it stamped as canceled). Ultimately, he decides on running a political campaign... encouraging voters to vote "None of the Above", since winning the actual office would be an asset, and both the other candidates were jackasses. The campaign succeeds (and the jackasses he was running against, seeing the writing on the wall, decide not to stand for the follow-up election), but he comes up short by $100,000. Right before the time limit runs out, one of his relatives contests the will. Monty hires his love interest to defend him in the case... paying her a $100,000 retainer.

When he was about to get married, the will's executors showed up to tell him that they found out his uncle had secretly got married and left a widow and three kids. Pitheco would only inherit twenty bucks, provided he still gets married. Pitheco promptly declared he'd never change his life for so little. Hurt by this, Tooga hit him and left in tears. The executors then gave Pitheco a letter where his uncle told him he made that will hoping Pitheco would get married and enjoy the life of a family man.

On One Condition / int_f3c92203	comment	The Cat Who... Series: In book #4 (The Cat Who Saw Red), when Qwill learns the origins of Maus Haus, he finds it was a result of this trope. Hugh Penniman conceived the building as an arts center and, in his will, said that under its new owner, it must continue to serve the arts. After Penniman's sons declined it based on the condition, it passed to Hugh's niece and subsequently to her husband, Hugh's nephew-in-law Robert Maus, who solved this by renting the studios to gourmets (gastronomy being considered an art by its practitioner) and reactivating the old pottery operation. However, as demonstrated in the start of The Cat Who Played Brahms, the clause didn't forbid him from eventually selling the property to a developer who wanted to tear it down and build a high-rise apartment on the spot. In book #5 (The Cat Who Played Brahms), when his Aunt Fanny dies, Qwill finds he can only inherit the Klingenschoen money if he remains a resident of Moose County for five years. The next book clarifies that leaving sooner than that would mean that the money would be turned over to a syndicate in New Jersey. "Leaving" also includes his death, which makes him a potential target. When he makes it to the five-year benchmark in book 13, he throws a celebration.
