Brendon's Will: Ex-Girlfriend Gets Nothing

Nicholas Brendon, known for his role as Xander Harris in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," reportedly left his entire estate to his twin brother, Kelton Donovan Schultz. An alleged handwritten will, filed by Schultz on June 15, 2026, states, "Sarah gets nothing. Kel gets everything. He can figure it out," specifically disinheriting ex-girlfriend Sarah Marker. Brendon passed away in March 2026 at age 54.

Brendon's parents, Robert and Kathleen Schultz, declined to serve as administrators of his estate, instead nominating Kelton. The late actor had no spouse or children. His cause of death was officially determined as atherosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease, with contributing factors including pneumonia and a prior heart attack.

In 2023, Brendon had publicly disclosed a previous heart attack and a congenital heart defect. He had also undergone several spinal surgeries and faced various legal challenges prior to his death. His family described him as passionate and sensitive, noting his art was a pure reflection of himself.
