The will of the late American actor Gene Hackman has been released, but uncertainty lingers over his $80m fortune, as the two-time Academy Award winner left his entire estate to his also late wife of 30 years, Betsy Arakawa.

Hackman’s three children with his late ex-wife, Faye Maltese – Christopher, Elizabeth, and Leslie – have not commented publicly on the matter, but Legal experts say they could now potentially inherit his fortune, despite not being named in the will.

They would however need to prove that the will last updated in 2005, is invalid because Arakawa died before Hackman.

Authorities say Arakawa passed away on February 11 this year, after contracting a rare virus, days before Hackman died of natural causes.

Arakawa’s own will, left her assets to her husband Hackman, with a provision that if they died within 90 days of each other, her estate would go to a trust, and later be donated to charity after covering medical expenses.
