1Opinion of the Court

KONDUROS, J,:

Eris Gail Smith (Smith) appeals the circuit court’s order granting summary judgment to her sister, Judy Jones (Jones), in this dispute over the will of their deceased mother, Eris Singletary Smith (the Testator). On appeal, Smith argues (1) the circuit court prematurely granted summary judgment before the parties had a full and fair opportunity to complete discovery and (2) summary judgment was improper because genuine issues of material fact existed regarding the presence of undue influence and fraudulent inducement in the execution of the Testator’s purported will. We affirm.
