According to legal documents obtained by DailyMail, the late Friends star Matthew Perry, who passed away from a ketamine overdose at 54 on October 28, 2023, created a will in 2009 leaving 'a majority of his belongings to a trust.' The trust, named the Alvy Singer Living Trust after Woody Allen's 1977 film character, holds personal property valued at 'a little over $1 million,' which was found to be additional assets not already in his private trust.
Perry, estimated to be worth $120 million, specified in his will that any children he might have after 2009 were not 'explicitly entitled' to his fortune. Lisa Ferguson and Robin Ruzan, Mike Myers' ex-wife, are listed as co-executors of the will. Both Perry and Ruzan worked on the game show Celebrity Liar in the 2010s. Other beneficiaries of the trust include Perry's father John Perry, mother Suzanne Morrison, half-sister Caitlin Morrison, and ex-girlfriend Rachel Dunn, whom he dated from 2003 to 2005. Perry signed the will on October 26, 2009.
The actor, best known for his role as Chandler Bing on Friends from 1994 to 2004, reportedly earned $20 million a year in residuals from the show. Perry's parents are expected to receive his acting royalties and other parts of his estate, including his 2022 memoir, according to Day Pitney trusts and estates partner Tasha Dickinson.
Perry's autopsy revealed that he died from the 'acute effects of ketamine' and drowning. He had been receiving ketamine infusion therapy as treatment for depression, with the last session occurring a week and a half before his death. The high levels of ketamine found in his system could have led to cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression, contributing to his death. Perry had no alcohol, cocaine, heroin, meth, or fentanyl in his system. He was found face-down in the hot tub at his Los Angeles home, adjoining the swimming pool, at 4:17 pm on October 28, shocking the world of showbiz and fans worldwide.
