'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' star Nicholas Brendon’s 11-word will reveals who he left his estate to

An alleged will belonging to Buffy the Vampire Slayer actor Nicholas Brendon has surfaced online, revealing who would inherit his estate in the event of his death.

According to court documents obtained by People, the actor's purported will names his younger sister, Kelly Donovan, as the sole beneficiary of his estate. The document reportedly leaves all of Brendon's property and assets to Donovan, who is also named as the executor of the estate.

Brendon, best known for playing Xander Harris on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Donovan share a close family connection. Donovan, who is Brendon's identical twin brother despite the name he professionally uses, occasionally served as his stand-in during the filming of the hit supernatural series.

The alleged will was filed as part of a conservatorship case involving the actor. Brendon has faced a number of personal and legal challenges in recent years, including struggles with substance abuse and health issues that have affected his ability to manage his affairs independently.

According to the filing, the will was signed before witnesses and outlines Brendon's wishes regarding the distribution of his estate. However, the document has not been activated, as Brendon is alive, and questions surrounding his current legal situation remain ongoing.

People reports that the filing emerged amid a dispute involving Brendon's conservatorship, with family members and legal representatives continuing to navigate matters related to his care and financial management.

Brendon rose to fame as one of the original stars of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, appearing in all seven seasons of the cult-favourite series alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan and David Boreanaz. Since the show ended, he has continued to make appearances at fan conventions while also speaking publicly about his health and recovery journey.

The newly surfaced document offers a rare glimpse into Brendon's personal affairs, though the actor has not publicly commented on the filing or the details contained within the alleged will.
