Larry King wanted his kids to take over his entire estate after his passing.

King's last known will was a handwritten note dated Oct. 17, 2019, as obtained by multiple outlets. The TV personality stated that he wanted his children Andy, Chaia, Larry Jr., Chance and Cannon to get all his fortune and divide it equally among themselves, Entertainment Tonight reported.

Based on the website and legal documents, King's estate is worth around $2 million aside from the separate assets held in separate trusts. Meanwhile, Larry Jr. has filed documents asking to be appointed as administrator to the estate.

Last year, two of King's children — Andy and Chaia — passed away. He lost both within weeks. Andy passed away of a heart attack in late July. Meanwhile, Chaia succumbed to lung cancer.

"It is with sadness and a father's broken heart that I confirm the recent loss of two of my children, Andy King, and Chaia King," King wrote on Facebook. "Both of them were good and kind souls and they will be greatly missed."

"Andy passed away unexpectedly of a heart attack on July 28th, and Chaia passed on August 20th, only a short time after having been diagnosed with lung cancer," he continued.

King was hospitalized due to COVID-19 earlier this year, according to an unnamed source close to the family. His three sons were not able to visit him due to hospital protocols. His fans and colleagues took to Twitter to wish him well and a speedy recovery at the time.

"Thinking of my dear friend Larry King and rooting for him. PLEASE wear a mask and do your best to help stop the spread. We can protect one another if we all do our part here," "Wonder Woman" star Lynda Carter wrote.

"Larry King has survived a heart attack & all those divorces. He is one tough cookie. He will survive covid also," one fan tweeted.

King passed away on Jan. 23 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles just five months after Chaia's death. He was 87 years old. His family members confirmed the news on his official Facebook page.

"We are heartbroken over our father's death, and together with our extended family mourn his passing. The world knew Larry King as a great broadcaster and interviewer, but to us he was 'dad,'" their statement read.
