Sinatra's no contest will

Barbara Sinatra will inherit the bulk of Frank's will

Frank Sinatra did it his way to ensure there would be no legal wrangles over his will.

He warned that anyone contesting the will would be disinherited.

Remembering Frank: flowers at his funeral

The singer's fourth wife Barbara and his three children are to inherit the bulk of his will.

But the vast majority of his fortune, estimated to be at least $200m (£123m), had already been put into a trust fund that will remain private.

Barbara Sinatra was left most of the 82-year-old entertainer's properties including the couple's desert ranch, their Beverly Hills mansion and a Malibu beach house.

She also inherits the rights to market his name and likeness as well as Sinatra's interest in a few of his early recordings, referred to as the 'Trilogy' master recording.

Sinatra's son Frank Jr and daughters Tina and Nancy will receive $200,000 (£123,000) each plus undivided interests in a Beverly Hills office building.

Ol' Blue Eyes also added $1m (£613,000) to a trust fund established earlier for his two grandchildren.

Most of his estate had previously been put into a trust, separate to the grandchildren's trust.

In that fund, known as a living trust, Sinatra's children were given rights to much of the singer's music catalogue.

Sinatra's attorney, Harvey Silbert said: "There are very substantial assets in the trust."

The will also provides Mrs Sinatra with up to $3.5m (£2.15m) once specific bequests are made. If there are any assets remaining after the $3.5m they are to be split between his children.

Nancy Barbato Sinatra, his first wife and the father of his children, is to receive $250,000 (£153,000), his friend Elvina Joubert $150,000 ($92,000), stepson Robert Marx $100,000 (£61,000) and friend Dorothy Uhlemann $50,000 (£31,000).

Paintings, silverware, books, furniture, jewellery, cars, collections and memorabilia also went to Mrs Sinatra.

A court hearing on the will is scheduled for June 18.

But Mr Silbert said it would probably be about a year before any of the heirs actually receive their inheritance because of the lengthy probate process.
