“8 Mile” director Curtis Hanson passed away in September, and his will not only took care of his longtime partner and son, it also took care of his extended family and movie business. The Oscar winner left most of his estate to his partner and son, setting up a trust for them and several other family members. The estate planning documents do not give exact monetary numbers for the trust, but Hanson had nearly $5 million outside of the trust. His partner is asking to be named the executor of the will with no involvement in his production companies, which will be left up to his producing partner.
