Brittany Murphy Dies

[songline]

Well I can easily believe he was "in love." But I can't help but wonder as what exactly would attract her to him? He looks to be overweight (even more so now then when they got married), he is older than her (by how much?), and I don't think anyone is going to argue he was very successful career-wise/financially.

Love is blind :crazy:

California is a community property state, and they were married and residents of California, so I imagine her estate will now be his sole property.

The marriage will take precedence over any will she made prior to marriage.

If her home was purchased before they were married and he was not on the deed then it would not automatically go to him. So, if she left the home to say her mother in her will, then that is who it would go to.

Jaime Pressly was asked "Were you and Brittany friends?"
She replied, "We were until she married him"...video below...

Lets say he does challenge it. And yes I think he will.
I am not sure she did much work during the past 2.5 years.
He would be entitled to 50% of what she had earned during those years they were married - not before :no:
But he also has a reputation as a mooch with his other women...I don't think any judge would take kindly to it.

Actually the statute posted addresses pre-marriage assets and includes up to but not exceeding 50% of those also. That would include royalties on 50% of the pre-existing and at least 50% of those accrued during the marriage. Being a is not illegal in and off itself. Unless he is charged in her death or there are documents that specifically exclude him from the will he will get a large portion of the estate (whatever is left after the attorney fees leave behind).

The pre-marriage assets would be protected in a divorce. Not in probate.

I would guess what she was attracted to was his enabling of her toxic behaviors.

Some women like men who take care of them...now, 'taking care' can mean many things to many people. There's good taking care...and bad taking care. Might be dependant on the level of the womans self-esteem...a good reminder as to why we need to nourish our girls/childrens self-esteem and promote a healthy body image...

Did anyone else see the article that states Perez Hilton 'predicted' Brittany's death two weeks ago? (It may have been linked here by Paladine).

What seems to have actually happened is Perez was being interviewed on a talk radio show. I think they were discussing celebrity deaths in 2009, with Michael Jackson being the main focus.

The interviewer asked Perez if there was anyone Perez 'worried' about not making it (alive) through the end of the coming year, and Perez was quoted to have clearly said, "Brittany Murphy".

Yes I saw that article. The interviewer supposedly asked him which celebrity will die next and supposedly he answered Brittany Murphy, maybe. Don't know if there is any truth to that. By the way tmz just posted that a whole bunch of prescription meds was found in the house and listed them.
I am guessing the cause of the untimely death could turn out to be a mix of prescription meds.

TMZ has learned Brittany Murphy had a will when she died -- a will she executed before she met husband Simon Monjack.

Sources say the will left her estate to her mother, Sharon Murphy.

The house Brittany owned and died in was held in trust -- a trust created several years before she met Monjack. He is not listed on the title.

We do not know if Murphy amended her will after she was married. So far we have no evidence Murphy drafted a codicil (amendment) to the will.

Some of the meds they found at her home!

According to the notes, the medications included Topamax (anti-seizure meds also to prevent migraines), Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory), Fluoxetine (depression med), Klonopin (anxiety med), Carbamazepine (treats Diabetic symptoms and is also a bipolar med), Ativan (anxiety med), Vicoprofen (pain reliever), Propranolol (hypertension, used to prevent heart attacks), Biaxin (antibiotic), Hydrocodone (pain med) and miscellaneous vitamins.

Yes, I saw it...I did post it but someone else may have, as well...amazing, what he said, he did predict it. It seems to have been common knowledge...like the SNL skit...they did a parody about her...I totally missed it all...but looking at all the pieces together...the shots fired incident, the husband incoherant on the set, reported fighting with locals in Puerto Rico, the husband being taken to hospital, getting fired, the reports of her forgetting lines and seeming confused...it's all linked on this thread and pieced together it paints a sad picture. Too bad someone couldn't have done something to help her. Friends and Family seem to have been cut out when Hubby showed up. But it seems Mother was around...wonder what she thought of him...I'm not saying Brittany was on pills or abusing them but if she was, and I'm leaning there, I wonder how much her Mother knew about her daughters possible prescription use...I'd know if my daughter was on pills...I know my daughter...

And one thing...Brittanys Dad was in the mafia, you can google and see, I don't want to post the link, it seems disrespectful...not to trash him, he did his time, it was long ago. But I mention it in relation to Brittanys choices in men and what she might find acceptable. I understand her mom left him when she was young, around 4. But he's still her Dad. We see how Tiger saw his Dad cheat. And maybe Brittany saw her Mom make not so good choices in Men...just a thought. Boy, parenting is a minefield...

This is the statute that was posted earlier regarding California probate for cases where the estate is willed to a party other than the spouse but the will was written before the marriage occured, which appears to be the case here. Unless he is charged and convicted, or is specifically excluded in documtentation after the marriage he is entitled to a portion of the estate.

21610. Except as provided in Section 21611, if a decedent fails to
provide in a testamentary instrument for the decedent's surviving
spouse who married the decedent after the execution of all of the
decedent's testamentary instruments, the omitted spouse shall receive
a share in the decedent's estate, consisting of the following
property in said estate:
(a) The one-half of the community property that belongs to the
decedent under Section 100.
(b) The one-half of the quasi-community property that belongs to
the decedent under Section 101.
(c) A share of the separate property of the decedent equal in
value to that which the spouse would have received if the decedent
had died without having executed a testamentary instrument, but in no
event is the share to be more than one-half the value of the
separate property in the estate.

My understanding is this....the property is not considered "community property" because it was purchased before they were married and he was not on the deed. Therefore, this does not apply to the home. As far as her other assests I don't know?

My doctor had me on propranolol...I had heart palpitations brought on by anxiety...brought on by too much synthroid...or that's what I was told, anyways...lol...now, I take nothing and I'm fine.

2 pain relievers, 2 anxiety drugs...those are the most concerning. People usually take 1 of each type...in my experience...doubling up might be sign of a problem, imo. Now, how much of each...

I would guess what she was attracted to was his enabling of her toxic behaviors.

Boy, you say that well! After seeing that drug list and the other info...I agree.

It is my understanding that part a of the statute covers community property and section c covers assets that were held before the marriage. According to the statute if the will is written before the marriage and never updated he is entitled to a portion of both with a cap on the amount of the premarriage assets he can be awarded.

Divorce and probate rules are different.

oh my..."Source Recalls Brittany Murphy's 'Bizarre' On-Set Behavior; Calls Actress' Husband 'Satan'"

"Bizarre doesn't begin to describe her behavior on set," the source claimed. "It's her husband who is Satan. And he drags her to the dark side... And even after all the horrible things she and her evil dude did, everyone is devastated."

If she was bipolar, that list isn't all that unusual. Often in an effort to find the right medication, they will prescribe several different conbinations. If there is a problem they may prescribe another set of meds or mix and match some. IOW, just because she had them doesn't mean she was taking them all. The anti inflam,biaxin and vicodin could have been for an injury or surgery? It is really hard to say based on the list of meds.
I am saying this without knowing anything about her FWIW.

Brittany Murphy's husband and mother made a frantic attempt to revive her before paramedics arrived ... this according to notes written by an investigator from the L.A. County Coroner's office. And, there were a shocking number of strong prescription meds on Brittany's nightstand.

TMZ has reviewed the documents, written by Investigator Blacklock. According to his notes, Brittany Murphy "had been complaining of shortness of breath and severe abdominal pain" for 7 to 10 days prior to her death. According to the notes, Murphy went into the bathroom at around 7:30 AM Sunday and shut the door

According to the notes, Sharon called 911 and Simon "attempted to revive the decedent by placing her in the shower and running the water."
The notes continue -- "The decedent remained unresponsive and purged her stomach contents prior to the arrival of the paramedics."

Placing someone in the shower to revive them-is that recommended?
Not something that would occur to me to do.
