Details of Matthew Perry’s will have been revealed, just over four months after his tragic death.
The Friends actor’s will, which was created in 2009, has indicated that the majority of his belongings will be placed in the Alvy Singer Living Trust.
According to PEOPLE, the trust is named after Woody Allen’s playwright character in Annie Hall.
Matthew’s father John Perry and mother Suzanne Morrison are named as trust beneficiaries.
His half-sister Caitlin Morrison and Matthew’s ex-girlfriend Rachel Dunn, who he dated for two years before their 2005 split, are also listed as beneficiaries.
Matthew’s will also states that he did not want any kids he would’ve had to be entitled to his fortune.
“I have intentionally omitted from this Will and the Trust any provision for any of my heirs, issue, relatives, or other persons who are not named,” the actor noted in a signed copy of his will. “I also intentionally do not provide for any stepchildren or foster children that I now have or may later acquire.”
Matthew named Lisa Ferguson and Robin Ruzan as executors of his trust.
Ruzan, the ex-wife of Mike Myers, was the executive producer of the game show Celebrity Liar – on which Matthew appeared in 2010.
At the time of his death, Matthew had over $1 million in personal property in addition to what was already in his living trust.
The 54-year-old was found unresponsive in his swimming pool on October 28th, and pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene.
In December, Matthew’s death was ruled an accident from the “acute effects of ketamine” in his official autopsy report.
The County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner also confirmed contributing factors in his death included drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of buprenorphine (used to treat opioid use disorder).
The autopsy report stated that Matthew was “receiving ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety” with the most recent dose reportedly taken one and a half weeks before his death.
However, the report continued: “The ketamine in his system at death could not be from that infusion therapy, since ketamine’s half-life is three-to-four hours, or less.”
The report also noted that he was “reportedly clean for 19 months” prior to his death, according to a witness interviewed by detectives.
In his memoir Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing, Matthew opened up about his lengthy battle with addiction and revealed he almost died when he was 49 years old.
The Friends star spent weeks in a hospital fighting for his life after his colon burst from opioid overuse.
The actor revealed he spent two weeks in a coma and five months in the hospital and had to use a colostomy bag for nine months.
He said that when he was first admitted to the hospital, “the doctors told my family that I had a 2 percent chance to live. I was put on a thing called an ECMO machine, which does all the breathing for your heart and your lungs. And that’s called a Hail Mary. No one survives that.”
Matthew, who was just 24 when he was cast as Chandler Bing in Friends, recalled a terrifying time in his career that he was taking 55 pills a day.
He told PEOPLE: “I didn’t know how to stop. If the police came over to my house and said, ‘If you drink tonight, we’re going to take you to jail,’ I’d start packing. I couldn’t stop because the disease and the addiction is progressive. So it gets worse and worse as you grow older.”
The late 54-year-old had been to rehab 15 times, and had 14 surgeries on his stomach so far.
Matthew said fans who read his book would be “be surprised at how bad it got at certain times and how close to dying I came”.
He continued: “I say in the book that if I did die, it would shock people, but it wouldn’t surprise anybody. And that’s a very scary thing to be living with. So my hope is that people will relate to it, and know that this disease attacks everybody. It doesn’t matter if you’re successful or not successful, the disease doesn’t care.”
“I’m an extremely grateful guy. I’m grateful to be alive, that’s for sure. And that gives me the possibility to do anything.”
“What I’m most surprised with is my resilience. The way that I can bounce back from all of this torture and awfulness. Wanting to tell the story, even though it’s a little scary to tell all your secrets in a book, I didn’t leave anything out. Everything’s in there.”
At the time, Matthew added that his story is one “that’s filled with hope. Because here I am.”
The late 54-year-old rocketed to fame alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer in Friends – which ran for 10 seasons from 1994 until 2004.
Matthew’s funeral was held at the Forest Lawn Church of the Hills in LA on November 3, where his co-stars were in attendance, as well as his close friends and family.
After the service, the late actor was laid to rest in the cemetery opposite the Warner Brothers Studios, where he filmed 10 seasons of the iconic US sitcom Friends.
