The actor left his $80 million Hollywood fortune to his wife Betsy, who was a successor trustee to his trust.

Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawas wills have been revealed a month after their deaths.
The Oscar winning actor 95, left his $80 million Hollywood fortune to his wife Betsy, 65, who was a successor trustee to his trust. Its unclear if his three children, son Christopher Allen, 65, and daughters Leslie Anne, 58, and Elizabeth Jean, 62, from his previous marriage to Faye Maltese, were left anything in his will.
The possible omission of his children, who he was once estranged from, has raised the possibility of a legal battle over his fortune.
A legal expert told DailyMail.com If he died first, and she Betsy, had survived, it would've been World War III.
His kids would've probably gone crazy.
In her will, Betsy designates her assets to a trust, to be distributed to charitable organizations and the settlement of medical debts.
Hackman, who had Alzheimers, seemingly signed the most recent copy of his will on June 7, 2005. Its unclear exactly when he was diagnosed with the progressive neurodegenerative disease.
