Philip Seymour Hoffman Left Fortune to Estranged Partner
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Obituaries,
Philip Seymour Hoffman left his $35 million fortune to Mimi O'Donnell.
The Capote star, who was found dead in his apartment in New York City on February 2 from an apparent heroin overdose, named his estranged partner and the mother of his three children, Cooper, 10, Tallulah, seven, and five-year-old Willa, as the sole beneficiary of his estate.
A source told gossip website TMZ.com that the Oscar-winning actor wrote his will in 2004 before the birth of his daughters, and he also expressed a desire for his son to be raised in Manhattan so he could be exposed to the city's culture, arts and architecture. The 46-year-old star also named Chicago and San Francisco as back-up places for Cooper to grow-up if his original request was impossible, and asked that his son visit both cities at least twice a year for cultural purposes.
The Hunger Games actor reportedly fell off the wagon in 2012 after being sober for more than 20 years and he entered rehab in May 2013.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Obituaries,
Paul Walker's daughter is set to inherit his $25 million fortune.
The 40-year-old actor, who perished alongside his friend Roger Rodas on November 30, when the car they were travelling in lost control and crashed in Santa Clarita, California, named his 15-year-old child, Meadow Rain Walker, as the sole beneficiary of his entire estate in his will.
The Fast and the Furious star appointed his father Paul Sr. as the executor, who has filed the will with a probate court, according to gossip website TMZ.com. He has also petitioned to have the court appoint the late actor's mother, Cheryl Walker, as Meadow's legal guardian and the guardian of the teenager's $25 million fortune, as per his son's instructions in the will.
Meadow currently lives with her mother, Rebecca Soteros, but began living with her famous father full-time shortly before his tragic death. A court hearing is set to take place later this month.

Whitney Houston’s Daughter Inherits Everything
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Obituaries,
Whitney Houston has left everything in her will to her daughter, Bobbi Kristina.
The legendary singer - who was found lifeless in a bathtub in her Beverly Hilton Hotel suite on February 11 - has willed her entire estate, including all of her money, cars, furniture and other personal effects, to her 19-year-old daughter.
According to a 19-page court document obtained by Inside Edition, the will was first set up in 1993, but later amended in 2000 - when she was still married to Bobby Brown - and while the singer is mentioned in the will, he will receive nothing.
The money will be placed in a trust until Bobbi Kristina turns 21 in 2014, when she will receive a chunk of her inheritance. A further portion will then be obtained on her 25th birthday, with the final segment delivered when she hits the age of 30.

Whitney Houston’s Son To Get Money
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Obituaries, Rumors,
Whitney Houston's secret "son" is set to get a share of her $31 million fortune.
The 48-year-old singer - who died two weeks ago - took Nick Gordon into her home in Atlanta, Georgia, when he was a youngster to save him from his troubled background and while she never officially adopted him, she thought of him as her own. Nick, 22 - who would call Whitney "Mom" - also became like a brother to the "I Will Always Love You" hitmaker's 18-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina.
And although Whitney - who battled drink and drug addiction - blew most of her fortune, she is believed to have left $31 million, and her family say Nick will get a share.
"Nick was family, she loved him as much as any mother could love a child. If he is not written into her will and everything goes to Bobbi then it will only be because it was written before she took Nick into her family. If that's the case, Bobbi will make sure Nick is taken care of because it's what her mom would have wanted and he's like a brother," a source told The Sun.

Deceased child actor Gary Coleman, best-known for his role as Arnold on Diff’rent Strokes, will not be remembered with a funeral service. An independent attorney appointed to Coleman’s convoluted case announced the decision on Wednesday.
The decree comes on the heels of several confusing media reports, multiple wills purportedly written by the late actor, and a dramatic courtroom battle featuring his ex-wife, his ex-girlfriend and his estranged parents. Independent litigator Robert Jeffs was appointed to the case on Monday. His decision honors the request regarding funeral services made in Coleman’s 2005 will.

Second Gary Coleman Will Produced By Shannon Price
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Obituaries, Rumors,
Recently, a will was produced for late actor Gary Coleman. Oddly, the document had a stipulation that certain people would not be allowed to attend his funeral. In the will, all Coleman’s assets were left to “the Trustee of the Millennium Edge Trust.”
Coleman’s ex-wife, Shannon Price, has now come forward with a different will. This document is handwritten and names Price as the “sole heir of any and all monies, properties, bank accounts, earnings, model trains, vehicles, cars, toys, games, electronics, homes, other inheritances if any, all things physical and/or intellectual.”
The handwritten will adds, “This I have done because of my personal selfishness and weakness and I Love her with all my heart.” The notes are attached to a will allegedly written in 2006, which reads “I revoke all previous wills. I specifically disinherit my biological parents and siblings.” The only problem: the will isn’t signed by Gary Coleman.

The Details of Michael Jackson’s Will
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Rumors,
UPDATE: Entertainment Tonight has released the full contents of Michael Jackson’s will. In it, the King of Pop names mom Katherine as the primary caregiver for his kids. In case grandma can’t rise to the challenge, Jackson names longtime friend Diana Ross as the second choice to mother his brood of three. Jackson also states that he intentionally did not include Debbie Rowe (mother to at least two of the Jackson tots) in the document.
Despite claims made by Joe and Katherine Jackson that their son Michael died without a will, one has miraculously come to light. The Wall Street Journal has reported on the information this document contains…and things don’t look so great for dad Joe Jackson.
According to WSJ, the will divides most of Michael Jackson’s assets between his three kids, mom Katherine Jackson and one or more charities. Dad Joe isn’t mentioned and doesn’t stand to inherit a thing from the King of Pop.
