Gene Hackman's huge mistake before his shock death as major battle over his $80 MILLION estate looms
Gene Hackman's shocking death death last month has opened up the potential for a major battle to control his $80 million fortune.
The late actor, who police believe died around February 18 at age 95, had a living trust at the time of his death — but all of the people he listed as successor trustees were already dead before his own passing. On Thursday, District Judge Maria Sanchez-Gagne approved the request and instituted Avalon Trust, LLC, as a temporary successor at the recommendation of the estate's representative, Julia Peters. Police also announced that Arakawa is believed to have died as the result of respiratory trouble brought on by the rare but deadly hantavirus around a week before Hackman ultimately succumbed, leaving his estate with no one living to manage this the trusts.
