Joan Rivers generously spread her estimated $ 150 million fortune among family, friends, staff and charities — including an organization that supports guide dogs, according to the late comedienne’s will filed in Manhattan Surrogate’s Court on Tuesday.
But the will is devoid of details — leaving all the money to the beneficiaries through a blind trust.
Court papers say Rivers’ only child, daughter Melissa, who was named an executor of the estate, will also get all her mother’s tangible property.
Other family members set to inherit unspecified amounts are Melissa’s son and Joan’s grandson, Edgar Cooper Endicott, and Rivers’ niece and nephew, Caroline Waxler and Andrew Waxler.
Rivers’ close staff, including assistants Jocelyn Pickett and Sabrina Lott Miller and publicist Scott Currie, were also left money.
In addition, Rivers showered funds on her favorites charities — Guide Dogs for the Blind in California, the Queens-based food pantry God’s Love We Deliver, where Joan was a board member, the Jewish Guild for the Blind in Manhattan, the Simon Wisenthal Center, The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, where Joan served as a spokeswoman, and the Jewish Home and Hospital Foundation, also in Manhattan.
