David Cassidy Left Katie Cassidy Out Of His Will Amid Strained Relationship
David Cassidy did not include his daughter, Katie Cassidy, in his last will and testament.
The actor passed away on Nov. 21 at the age of 67. Prior to his death, he finalized his will, and The Blast managed to obtain copies of the document. The publication revealed that Cassidy decided to not leave anything to his daughter, Katie, perhaps due to their strained relationship.
Cassidy left approximately $150,000 in assets to his son, Beau Cassidy, a singer and songwriter. “It is my specific intent to not provide any benefits hereunder to Katherine Evelyn Cassidy and/or any descendant of Katherine Evelyn Cassidy.
The “Arrow” actress was raised primarily by her mom, Sherry Williams, and stepfather, Richard Benedon. Cassidy tried to repair his relationship with his daughter for several years, but he confirmed earlier this year that they were no longer communicating.
“I wasn’t her father. I was her biological father but I didn’t raise her. She has a completely different life. I’m proud of her. She’s very talented. It’s hard for me to even accept how old she is now,” he told People.
During the same interview, Cassidy gushed over his son, Beau, who he still had a relationship with at that time. “He’s just one of the best people you’ll ever meet in your life and it’s that that I’m proud of,” he said.
Days after his dad’s death, Katie penned a tweet reminding her fans to show their gratitude to those close to their hearts while they still have time.
Meanwhile, Cassidy also mentioned his three half siblings in his will, and they will receive anything “music memorabilia.” The Blast revealed that Cassidy’s will was created in 2004 by his personal representative and then-wife, Susan Cassidy. When the couple split in 2016, Cassidy will was handled by his cousin.
As of late, Katie has not yet commented regarding her dad’s decision to leave her out of his will.
