Hackman left kids money in trusts

While Gene Hackman’s three children didn’t live nearby him in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and didn’t necessarily see him that often, a new report disputes the idea that they were estranged from their 95-year-old father or are gearing up for a legal fight over his $80 million estate.

In fact, according to the Daily Mail, the “French Connection” legend and his children were in regular contact before his death in February, though mostly by phone.

The children have said they have all been adequately provided for via trusts that Hackman set up to safeguard his assets.
