Mary Forsberg, who is the ex-wife of deceased Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland, has recently asked a Los Angeles court to name her the executor of his will. The former spouse filed a will with his signature from 2007 naming her as the executor. The couple, who had two children, got divorced months after the will was singed. Scot Weiland later went on to marry photographer Jamie Watchel in 2013. The musician’s estate is currently worth about $2 million. It is not yet clear if Jamie Watchel will contest the will that Mary Forsberg has filed with the Los Angeles court. Scott Weiland passed away in December from an overdose of cocaine, MDMA, and alcohol at the age of 48.
