Joan Rivers' Will: Melissa Rivers Named Executor of Estimated $150 Million Estate, Money Designated for Family and Multiple Charities

Iconic comedian was a champion of a number of causes, including the New York-based Gods Love We Deliver

Joan Rivers knew that laughter was essential to the healing process—but time and money never hurt either.

Details of the iconic comedian's will were revealed today after it was filed in Manhattan Surrogate's Court and, not surprisingly, Rivers earmarked a portion of her fortune—estimated by some to be as much as $150 million—to a number of charitable causes, including the New York-based God's Love We Deliver.

Rivers competed (and won) The Celebrity Apprentice for the nonprofit, which prepares and delivers meals to people in need who are too ill and infirm to leave the house or buy the necessary ingredients for a nutritious meal.

According to a coyp of the will obtained by Page Six, Joan's will also included money for California's Guide Dogs for the Blind, the Jewish Guild for the Blind in Manhattan, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the Jewish Home and Hospital Federation of Manhattan and The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Melissa Rivers was named an executor of her mom's estate and given "the broadest and most absolute permissable direction" over the late entertainer's fortune.

Joan left Melissa all over her tangible property and beneficiaries including grandson Cooper, niece Caroline Waxler and nephew Andrew Waxler were provided for via a blind trust. She also left sums to her publicist Scott Currie and assistants Jocelyn Pickett and Sabrina Lott Miller, but no specific inheritance amounts were mentioned in the will.

Brief mention is made in the will of possible litigation against the Yorkville Endoscopy Clinic, where Joan had an upper-gastric endoscopy and a laryngoscopy when she suffered cardiac arrest on Aug. 28. She died Sept. 4 after being taken off life support.

The clinic was cited for a number of infractions in a report released last month by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, including failing to properly monitor Joan's vital signs.

Melissa's attorneys said in a statement that she was "terribly disappointed" by the findings and understandably "outraged by the misconduct and mismanagement now shown to have occurred before, during and after the procedure."

Joan's legacy lives on, however, the author and comedienne now nominated posthumously for a Grammy, Best Spoken Word Performance for the audiobook of her latest memoir, Diary of a Mad Diva. "I am beyond excited for my mother! @theGRAMMYS Best Spoken Word nominee @Joan_Rivers," Melissa tweeted upon hearing the news.
