Such a stipulation has no legal force. It is merely a directive informing your heirs as to what you want. It is up to them if they are going to abide by it.
Under No Adaptations Allowed it is said that Roald Dahl put it in his will that there be no film adaptations of Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, given that he hated the 1971 film did. While I do acknowledge that he refused an adaptation of the book while alive, I can't find sources that he put in his will that no film adaptations are permitted. I'm asking because the 2018 Netflix deal with the Roald Dahl Story Company includes that book in the agreement, so I'm trying to figure out if its a loophole in the will or there was no such stipulation in the first place.
