Well, now we know why the kids didn’t check on dear old dad.

They died alone, and it was a week before discovery.

Doesn’t look like the children cared.

Awakawa's ...savings would be donated to charity if both died within 90 days of each other. Awakawa's estate could still go to charity as New Mexico is a community property state.

Now that's an interesting term in the will. Were they afraid of foul play? I'm surprised that the same term was not in both their wills. I'm sure Hackman's three kids harbored grudges about Dad dumping Mom and marrying wife #2 who was 30 years younger than himself.

Hackman's estate could presumably go to his children, despite not being included in his will, as they are the most direct living heirs

Wow, that's surprising.

Hackman's son, Christopher, the oldest of his three adult children, reportedly hired prominent California trust and estate attorney Andrew M. Katzenstein to challenge the will

There's no way that legal challenge could be completed in that short amount of time.

They more likely than not gave someone POA...No matter...it's their business....and while it will become a Public Record, i'd just let the family go through this without our input.

IOW....Rest In Peace.

Maybe the offspring were estranged from him for other reasons. It happens. Or maybe they are already financially secured because he helped them well before he passed away. It seems odd the offspring didn’t stay in close touch. When my dad was declining and in his 90’s I flew to see him for a week almost every month for 18 months. We had professional people with him 24/7, and my sister was just blocks away. She got a break when I was visiting.

Nothing weirds people out more than when someone passes away and who gets what.

I’ve seen it many times.

Any idea what the estate is worth?

I bet the wife turned Hackman against his kids.

“Hackman, 95, made his wife, Betsy Arakawa, the sole beneficiary”

How is that a twist? Seems like the norm to me.

What good is a bad or outdated will?

No church as a secondary option? No God involved after blessing them with the very money in the first place.

Jesus: Do I know you nice person?
