 According to a copy of the will obtained by the CBS television show Inside Edition he acknowledged the existence of his children, including the actress Jamie Lee Curtis, but said he had "intentionally and with full knowledge chosen not to provide for them." His fifth wife Jill Vandenberg Curtis was named as the representative of his estate in the document which was filed in the state of Nevada, CBS reported. It's the last will and testament of Hollywood legend Tony Curtis, and it reveals that in his final days he disinherited daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis and his other four children. INSIDE EDITION has obtained the will, written five months before his death from cardiac arrest last year at age 85. He made more than 140 films over 60 years including Some Like it Hot with Marilyn Monroe, and Spartacus with Kirk Douglas. Meanwhile, Curtis's widow Jill released a statement saying, "Tony's last will and testament and his passing wishes are private family matters."
– Jamie Lee Curtis eulogized her father Tony at his funeral last year—but just five months before his death, Curtis had disinherited Jamie Lee and his other four children. Inside Edition has a copy of the will, which lists his children by name … then says, “I acknowledge the existence of my children … and have intentionally and with full knowledge chosen not to provide for them.” Curtis left the entire estate to his widow Jill—his fifth wife and not the mother of any of his children, the Telegraph notes. One of Curtis’ daughters contested the will, but was denied by the court.
