Gene Hackman appointed his wife, Betsy Arakawa Hackman, as the beneficiary to his $80 million estate, but her death opens the successor question to Hackman's three adult children and closest living heirs.

Gene Hackman, his wife, and a dog were found dead in their New Mexico home earlier this month. Amid the ongoing investigation of the three deaths, the Oscar-winning actor’s will has surfaced on the internet.

A month after the couple died separately in their New Mexico home, an outside party has been appointed as the representative for their estates.
