NEW YORK —Joan Rivers left her daughter, Melissa, in charge of her fortune and left money for some of her favorite charities, including Guide Dogs for the Blind, Jewish Guild Healthcare and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
According to Rivers’ 2014 will, which was filed in New York State Surrogate’s Court, the late comedienne made Melissa Rivers her will’s executor with “the broadest and most absolute permissible direction” over a fortune that has been estimated as high as $150 million.
Rivers died of brain damage Sept. 4 at age 81.
