Pavarotti Estate Divided

The estate of the late tenor Luciano Pavarotti was divided among his second wife and his four daughters. During his yearlong pancreatic cancer battle, the singer signed half of his assets to his second wife and the half among his daughters in accordance with Italian law. There were reports that his three daughters from his previous marriage were fighting for control of his estate and other holdings in the United States, which was entrusted to Mantovani.

According to Pavarotti’s manager however, there is no truth to the rumors that there was in house squabbling for wealth supposedly hidden from his children out of his first marriage. The last will and testament of the late singer was made public out of the request of his second wife to clear the issue that the singer indeed left half of his estate to his second wife.
