Hackman left his $80 million estate to Arakawa, his wife. The legendary actor, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease, had not updated his will since June 2005.

Because of Arakawa's death - which preceded Hackman's by a week - the money will likely still be passed on to his children, whom he fathered with his late ex-wife, Faye Maltese.

However, given the uncertainty over Hackman's beneficiaries, there could be a legal battle between the actor's three children. His son is rumored to have hired a high-powered lawyer for the matter.

Meanwhile, Arakawa's assets were placed in a trust, which will pay off all of her medical debts before being distributed to various charities.
