One notable aspect of Perry’s will is the choice of name for his trust, the “Alvy Singer Living Trust,” paying homage to Woody Allen’s iconic character from the film “Annie Hall.” This choice holds sentimental value for Perry. He fondly recalled in his 2022 memoir, “Friends Lovers – And The Big Terrible Thing,” a cherished childhood memory of watching the movie with his mother.

Despite drafting his will in 2009, Perry made a notable provision. He stated that any potential children he might have fathered would not be entitled to access his estate. However, legal documents confirm that the actor did not have any children.

The Oversight of Perry’s Estate

Perry’s will also designated executors, Lisa Ferguson and Robin Ruzan, to oversee the execution of his estate. The document includes provisions for the replacement of an executor should one fail or cease to act. This ensures the orderly administration of Perry’s final wishes.
