I heard of an individual who very specifically left one dollar to one of their children. The logic being, if said child hadn't been mentioned in the will at all, there could be a claim that they'd been inadvertently left out...
This is a truth, but usually you leave a large enough amount that people can't argue you were swayed. I've heard of $2000 to $4000 being an amount for a larger estate.
This was used as a plot line in Better Call Saul. I wasn't sure it was something real but my understanding is that most of the cases used in the show are either real cases or composites.

I'm super curious how that works in practice.
