Looking for that special last minute Mother's Day gift? Nothing says Mother's Day like the death certificates of your favorite TV star!
Someone is selling the death certificates and wills of Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance, and William Frawley on ebay. These aren't just one page descriptions of the date and manner of death, they are the actual detailed wills that they wrote before they died. Lucy didn't want to be embalmed and wanted to make sure her brother Fred and his wife didn't get anything. Desi made sure his mom was cared for. Vance left most of her estate to her much younger husband, and Frawley's will has a lot of bills and notes from creditors attached. It's probably interesting reading, but creepy.
For more background on the stars, here are the Wikipedia pages for Ball, Arnaz, Vance, and Frawley. Vance and Frawley hated each other.

Whoever wins these will be pretty disappointed when they see it's just photocopies and not the actual signed wills. Shady of the seller. He gives just enough info to make it sound like you're buying something rare.

I think if they were originals they'd be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and you'd want them authenticated before spending that kind of dough. I'm pretty sure the originals themselves (at least Frawley's) would have been filed with the court. I don't know what they do with them once they're microfilmed. Anyone?
