The content of late actress Farrah Fawcett’s will has been made public, with the Daily Mail revealing that the Charlie’s Angels actress included her criminal son, but not her longtime partner, Ryan O’Neal.

According to reports, the bulk of Fawcett’s $5.5 million estate was left to 24-year-old son Redmond O’Neal, in a will that was penned in 2007, shortly after the star’s cancer had spread to her liver.

However, because of O’Neal’s public battle with drug and alcohol addiction – for which he is currently incarcerated in a Los Angeles lock-up – Fawcett’s will stipulates that the money “be placed in a trust fund” that is to be controlled by two executors. O’Neal will receive a monthly allowance, as well as a single lump sum payment with which to buy his own home.

A source explained: “Farrah appointed two trustees to make sure the money supports her son’s journey into sobriety rather than giving him the means to destroy himself. Redmond’s inheritence will be tightly controlled.”

Ryan O’Neal, Fawcett’s partner of more than 15 years, added that he would support his son in any way he could, and said in a statement last week: “I loved [Farrah] so very, very much. Redmond is in the fight of his life but is doing well. I will do everything that is in my power to honor [Farrah's] memory and to protect our son.”

It has been announced that a private funeral for actress Farrah Fawcett will be held on Tuesday.

The private service will be held at 4 p.m. (local time) at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles, chuch officials have confirmed.

The actress, best known for her role in cult 70’s series Charlie’s Angels, passed away on Thursday after a long and painful battle with cancer at the age of 62.

Fawcett’s longtime partner Ryan O’Neal was at the actress’ bedside when she finally succumbed to the disease.

The 62-year-old, most known for her role in the television series Charlie’s Angels, died in hospital shortly before 1:30 a.m. (AEST), according to reports.

Fawcett’s publicist Arnold Robinson released a statement on O’Neal’s behalf:

“After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away.

“Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world.”

O’Neal spoke with People magazine after the statement was released, telling them that he talked with Fawcett throughout the night.

“She’s now with her mother and sister and her God,” he said. “I loved her with all my heart. I will miss her so very, very much. She was in and out of consciousness. I talked to her all through the night.

“I told her how very much I loved her. She’s in a better place now.”
