The “Superman Returns” Will Execution Interface

I was watching the movie Superman Returns last night and saw that it starts with a great will scenario.  Superman’s arch-enemy Lex Luthor has been released from prison after taking advantage of an elderly terminally ill individual.  The first scene of the movie shows this wealthy woman signing her will which leaves her entire estate to Lex, her husband.  In just a few minutes, this scene raises the following will issues:

• Fraud (Lex claimed he has “reformed” and it is obvious he did not)
• Undue influence (Lex kept everyone else out of the room when she signed her will and one of her housekeepers was actually an associate of Lex)
• Assistance in signing the will (the woman dies before she finished signing the will and Lex “helps” her finish her signature)
