Details of Matthew Perry’s will have been revealed and show he left more than $1million in a trust he established named after a famed Woody Allen film character.
The actor, who was best known for playing Chandler Bing in Friends, died last year from the “acute effects of ketamine”.Perry was found “unresponsive in the pool at his residence” on October 28 before he was pronounced dead at the age of 54.
During his life, Perry was open about his battle with substance abuse and addiction – and also set up a sober living facility for men with similar issues.
Following his death, a foundation was set up in his name to help those struggling with addiction.
Now according to legal documents obtained by multiple outlets, the late Hollywood star created a will in 2009 saying he wanted to leave “a majority of his belongings to a trust”, which is named the Alvy Singer Living Trust after Woody Allen's 1977 Annie Hall character.
Perry was worth an estimated $120million. The documents list the value of the star's personal property as a 'little over $1million' - this money is what his executors found as additional assets that are not already in his private trust.
Trust beneficiaries listed are the star's father John Perry, mother Suzanne Morrison, half-sister Caitlin Morrison and ex Rachel Dunn, who he dated from 2003-2005.According to his will, he also stated that any children he had after 2009 would not be "explicitly entitled" to his fortune. He never had kids and never married.
The documents also list Lisa Ferguson and Mike Myer’s ex wife Robin Ruzan as executors of Perry’s will. However, documents show that Ruzan has declined to act as one of his executors.
The Standard has contacted reps for Matthew Perry for comment.
