I don't know about the USA, but the law where I live is that your "will" is only binding in a very loose way, and can be interpreted and challenged on a whole raft of grounds. There's no legal way around that (the only solutions I know of are gifting before you die and killing off anyone that might challenge it).

And on a different note: what is the difference between me buying a second hand book, reading it and reselling it; and me buying it, OCR'ing it, reading it and reselling it? Specifically, from the authors, publishers and wider society's point of view, as well as the bush lawyers.
