How did he...


Fake his own death? Pretty sure his brother saying “I saw the body” doesn’t make him legally dead.

That's a good question. It is one of many aspects of the movie that is not explained. But that does not mean that it is a plot hole or a movie flaw. It might take another 60 minutes to explain everything. He had several days to plan the scheme. So he could have gotten a body at a morgue, or could have murdered somebody. He had lots of money and was ruthless. His body was cremated and so they did address that. His brother could have identified the body and that would be it. But yes, one does wonder this during the movie...
