Fawcett’s Partner Left Out of Will

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.”

Jackson’s Last Will Includes Diana Ross

The last will and testiment of the late Michael Jackson has been filed with the court, and the documents made available to the media through TMZ.com.

In the seven-year-old documents, Jackson has labeled his mother, Katherine, as the guardian of his three children. The will also states that if Katherine died before him or, for some reason, couldn’t care for the children, they would be put under the guardianship of fellow performer, Diana Ross.

The will’s co-Executors, John Branca (Jackson’s lawyer) and John McClain (a music exec), released a statement on behalf of their deceased client.

“The most important element of Michael’s will is his unwavering desire that his mother, Katherine, become the legal guardian for his three children,” the joint statement read.

Jackson has left the entirety of his estate to the Michael Jackson Family Trust, with property to be divided equally between his three children. His ex-wife and mother to the two eldest Jackson children, Debbie Rowe, was not named in the will.
