Philip Seymour Hoffman's Death And Will: Who Did The Hunger Games Mockingjay Star Leave His Estate To?
Even though Philip Seymour Hoffman has passed away, the Hunger Games star is still making the news: in his will, he left his entire estate to his longtime partner and mother of his three children, Mimi O'Donnell. In addition, he left a provision in the will that encourages his children to "stay out of Hollywood" and courting the spotlight.
CNN is reporting that the will, which was signed when his son was born -- but before his daughters were born -- insists that his son, Cooper, be raised in either New York City, Chicago, or San Francisco. "It is my strong desire, and not direction to my guardian, that my son, Cooper Hoffman be raised and reside in or near the borough of Manhattan in the State of New York, or Chicago Illinois, or San Francisco, California," Hoffman stated in the 13-page will.
This provision, however, was only provided for in the event that Mimi wasn't alive at the time of Hoffman's death, and a guardian had to be appointed in the place and stead of both parents.
In addition to the provision for Cooper's living arrangements, the will specifically stated that Cooper -- barring the ability to live in any of the three aforementioned cities -- needs to visit these cities as much as possible in order to get an education of a different kind. "The purpose of this request is so that my son will be exposed to the culture, arts and architecture that such cities offer," Hoffman's will said.
Meanwhile, according to CBS News, actress Amy Adams reportedly got "choked up" when she was asked to discuss Hoffman's impact on her life in an interview for Inside the Actor's Studio. Adams, whose interview is due to air on Bravo soon, commended Hoffman for his contributions to the acting world. "I wish you could all get a chance to work with him. He was beautiful, a beautiful spirit. And he has this unique ability to see people, really see them. And he will be missed," she said.
Adams first met Hoffman two years ago on the set of The Master.
