Three months after his sudden death at 54, details about Nicholas Brendon’s alleged will have been revealed.
On Monday, Nicholas’ identical twin brother Kelton Donovan Schultz filed court docs, obtained by People magazine, stating that the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” drafted a handwritten will before his death.
The filing included a piece of paper titled “My Will,” which read, "Sarah gets nothing. Kel gets everything. He can figure it out."

Nicholas was referencing his ex-girlfriend Sarah Marker.
Last month, Kelton petitioned to be the personal rep for Nicholas’ estate.
A hearing is set for July 16.
A month ago, Nicholas’ cause of death was confirmed by the Putnam County Coroner’s office.

The American Heart Association describes atherosclerotic disease as plaque buildup in arterial walls. The Cleveland Clinic lists hypertensive disease as unmanaged high blood pressure that can cause issues like the heart muscle thickening or heart failure.
Contributing factors to Brendon’s death included acute pneumonia and previous myocardial infarction (heart attack).
The "mechanism of death” was determined to be a 90 percent blockage of his right coronary artery.
Zeiner added that there were no signs of foul play.
