Larry King allegedly left behind a “handwritten will” that advised his five children to distribute his property evenly in the event of his death.

His last will was written on October 17, 2019, about two months after he filed for divorce from his seventh wife, Shawn Southwick, which was completely left out of the note, according to TMZ.
