The facts suggest that Flo, the bank employee, had undue influence over Dieter in opening the account and retaining the card required to access it. This is because the funds were held in trust for Flo, which indicates a lack of intention on Dieter's part to make a gift to her. Therefore, it is likely that Flo exerted undue influence over Dieter in setting up the account in her favor, and her withdrawal of the funds after Dieter's death would be considered wrongful. The other options, living trust, nuncupative will, and descent by election, do not adequately explain the situation.
