There are new details emerging about the estate of the late Matthew Perry, including the executors who have been named and a $1 million Trust linked to Hollywood. It’s only been a few months since the Friends star was found dead at just 54 years old. His Will shows that most of his assets will be put into the Alvy Singer Living Trust, which is named after a character played by Woody Allen in Annie Hall.

Beneficiaries of the Trust include Perry’s mother and father, Suzanne Morrison and John Perry. Also listed as beneficiaries are his half-sisters, Rachel Dunn and Caitlin Morrison. While his Will showed that any children would not have access to his estate, he never had kids. Included with the filing is the information that Perry had more than $1 million in personal property at the time of his death.

Now that the Will has been shared and information has been provided about the Trust, it looks as though Perry’s parents will receive the money and other assets he owned when he passed away. Unlike many celebrity deaths, there doesn’t seem to be a contentious issue with his Will or the people who will receive benefits from it. Since Perry wasn’t married and didn’t have children, it’s also unsurprising that what he left behind would go to his mother and father.

Perry rose to fame in the ’90s, playing the character of Chandler Bing. For 10 years, from the ages of 24 to 34, he worked closely with his castmates and shaped his life in the process. His 2022 memoir addressed the show, his character, and the addiction issues with which he struggled.

The executors of his Will, Robin Ruzan and Lisa Ferguson, have already put much of Perry’s estate into the Trust. While he had publicly battled addiction and alcoholism in the past, he had reportedly been clean for 19 months at the time of his death. There was ketamine and buprenorphine (a medication that’s commonly used to treat opioid use) in his system, according to the autopsy, and he also had coronary artery disease. Perry’s death was unexpected, and ruled as accidental.
