Late Daily News columnist Jimmy Breslin left his entire estate to his wife, with his intellectual property totaling $99,000 in copyrights. Specifically, recent court documents reveal that Breslin left all of his intellectual property to the Jimmy Breslin Literary Trust, and his will indicated that the entirety of the trust’s income is to be paid to his wife. When his wife passes away, 70% of the trust’s income will go to his four children, and the remaining 30% will go to his six grandchildren.
