Michael Benoit: Estate Issues to be Settled

News

According to the Associated Press and Canadian Press, Chris Benoit’s father Michael says that a verbal agreement has been reached in the dispute over Chris’ estate.

“In principle, it’s there. It just needs to be documented,” Michael Benoit said, adding that the $1.5 to $3 million estate will “pretty much” be split down the middle between Chris’ two surviving children (from a previous marriage) and the Toffolinis (Nancy Benoit’s family).

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution earlier today reported Michael Benoit saying about Nancy’s family, “I was always of the opinion they were entitled to half of the estate.”

Matthew Michaels is editor emeritus of Pulse Wrestling, and has been since the site launched.
