NHL Star Lemieux's Will Details Estate Transfer
7 Jul
Summary
- Lemieux's entire estate was left to a trust established with his wife.
- His wife was named personal representative, with children as backups.
- The estate's approximate value was estimated to exceed $75,000.
Following the death of NHL legend Claude Lemieux in May, details of his will have been disclosed. Court documents reveal that Lemieux bequeathed his entire estate to a trust established in September 2008 with his wife, Deborah Lemieux, and last amended in 2021.
Deborah Lemieux has been appointed as the personal representative to manage his estate. In the event she cannot fulfill this role, their children Brendan and Claudia Lemieux are designated as co-representatives. Notably, his two sons from a previous marriage were not named as personal representatives or beneficiaries.
The beneficiaries listed include Deborah, Brendan, Claudia, and his grandchildren Luc, aged 2, and Sutton, aged 6 months. The estate's approximate value was stated to be in excess of $75,000. Court filings in Florida aim to confirm Deborah's qualification to serve as personal representative.
Lemieux passed away at age 60, with authorities confirming his death as suicide. His family has chosen to donate his brain to the UNITE Brain Bank at Boston University CTE Center for research on traumatic brain injury.
