Following the recent deaths of actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa, it has been revealed that Hackman's will excludes his three children, leaving his entire estate to Arakawa. If she had died first, her assets would potentially go to charity due to a simultaneous death clause. Hackman's children may still have a claim as the closest living heirs, and his son is seeking legal counsel to challenge the will. The couple’s lack of a prenup and their status as residents of a community property state complicates matters further.
"If they died within 90 days of each other, all of Arakawa's assets would go to charity."
"Hackman's son has already hired a prominent California trust and estate attorney, indicating a likely challenge to the will."
