It turned out to whom “Friends” star Matthew Perry bequeathed personal property worth a million dollars

Close relatives will not receive everything

In his will, Matthew Perry left more than $1 million in a trust fund he established in honor of the film’s character, Woody Allen. Among the other beneficiaries of the trust are relatives of the deceased actor.

According to legal documents obtained by the Daily Mail, the late Friends star wrote a will in 2009 that stated he wanted to leave “the majority of his estate to a trust.”

He created a foundation called the Alvy Singer Living Trust, named after the character Allen in the 1977 film Annie Hall.

The documents list the value of the star’s personal assets as “just over a million dollars” – money his executors considered additional assets that were not already in his private trust.

Perry’s fortune was estimated at $120 million. The actor, who died childless, noted in his will that any children he may have after 2009 have no “explicit right” to his estate.

Lisa Ferguson and Mike Myers’ ex-wife Robin Ruzan are listed as co-executors of the will – both Perry and Ruzan worked on the game show Celebrity Liar in the 2010s.

Other listed beneficiaries of the trust are the star’s father John Perry, mother Suzanne Morrison, half-sister Caitlin Morrison and ex-girlfriend Rachel Dunn. Dated Dunn Perry from 2003-2005. He signed the will on October 26, 2009.

According to close friends of Perry, his parents will likely take over his acting royalties, as well as other parts of his estate, including his 2022 memoir.

Perry died on October 28, 2023, from the “acute effects of ketamine.” “The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner has determined the cause of death of 54-year-old actor Matthew Langford Perry to be acute exposure to ketamine,” the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office said.

It added: “Contributing factors to Mr Perry’s death include drowning, coronary artery disease and exposure to buprenorphine (used to treat opioid use disorder). Death occurred as a result of an accident.”

Perry was found in the hot tub attached to the pool of his Los Angeles home at 4:17 pm on October 28, stunning the showbiz world and breaking the hearts of fans around the world.

The medical examiner said the actor was receiving ketamine infusion therapy to treat depression, but the last session was a week and a half before his death. Ketamine only stays in the body for three to four hours, meaning the substance is unlikely to cause death directly.

“With the high levels of ketamine found in his post-mortem blood samples, the primary lethal consequences would be both overstimulation of the cardiovascular system and respiratory depression,” concluded forensic pathologist Raffi Jabourian.

Perry’s blood levels of ketamine were 3540 ng/mL in peripheral blood and 3271 ng/mL in central blood. For a patient under general anesthesia in a hospital, a ketamine blood level of 1000-6000 ng/ml would be normal, the medical examiner explained.
