Victims of Undue Influence? The Grand Budapest Hotel & Tony Curtis

Let's Discuss. A Pop Culture and Law Podcast.

Last month was Estate Planning National Week. Part of getting your Estate Plan in order means taking a look at your current EP and updating the necessary elements. But perhaps you could take a few pointers on what NOT to do when you update yours, number one being, don’t pull the carpet from under your family’s feet by disowning them because that may cause some drama. Just like in the successful 2014 film The Grand Budapest Hotel. This film is not only visually gorgeous and features all the Hollywood top stars like Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Saoirse (pronounced Sersha) Ronan, Jude Law and the list goes on and on, it also touches on a topic that believe it or not, estate planning lawyers often deal with: updating a will and cutting out the appointed heirs without telling them. And to accompany this episode with some real-life drama we have the Tony Curtis Estate and how he allegedly left out his grown children out of his will on purpose and lawsuits between them and Curtis’ spouse at the time got out of control.
