No One Can Find Late Screenwriter Melissa Mathison S Will And That S A 22 Million Problem


Mathison’s will, which was completed by Mathison to distribute her $22 million fortune after her death, has now been reported missing by her business manager. So the fate of that $22 million, all of which is now in a trust fund awaiting further instructions, is somewhat precarious – especially if any of Mathison’s potential heirs come out of the woodwork and try to dispute whatever the court’s decision turns out to be, if the will is never found (according to California law, a copy of a will is sufficient as long as the contents of it aren’t in dispute). Melissa Mathison has two children, so the obvious assumption is that they’re getting a big chunk of the $22 million. She was also on the board of the International Campaign for Tibet while she was alive, so it would make sense if that organization got a significant amount of love in her will. Hopefully, despite the outrageous turn of events – where a business manager loses a client’s will after her death – this whole thing will be resolved simply and quietly, without any nasty court battles. One thing Mathison’s executors probably don’t have to worry about his her ex-husband Harrison Ford, who’s not exactly in bad financial straits, especially after his monumental Star Wars payday.
