Line 41:
If the will writer was killed, their murderer is automatically disinherited. The heir just has to prove they did it, setting up a [[Murder Mystery]]. Forgery and tampering are subtler crimes, so are usually left to the more cerebral mysteries.
A marriage or divorce which took place after the will was drafted may invalidate it; conversely "separated" is still technically "married", an annoying legal pitfall for inheritances.
If the villain simply had undue influence on the will writer, such as a [[Black Widow]], or if the will is unreasonable, the only option is to take it to court. Many of the [[On One Condition|more bizarre conditions]] would be thrown out if they were challenged, but these cases are notoriously slow, so are seldom the main focus of a plot.
