Yes, there are many details to which someone should pay attention so that their desires for their estates are actually respected. That's all I was getting at.
I was surprised that Hackman's will had no provision for what to do should his wife predecease him, as that's usually one of the first questions that has to be answered in completing a will when you are married.

Maybe the wife bought a will kit for $99.99, filled it out and took it to a notary public. If things get nasty, I am sure we will hear more about it..
