Matthew Perry’s Executor Pays Off Actor’s Debts, Ready to Pay Out Millions to ‘Friends’ Star’s Family

Matthew Perry‘s longtime manager, who was appointed as executor of his estate, revealed she has settled all debts and his estate is ready to be closed, In Touch can exclusively report.

In Touch has obtained the final accounting report submitted in Matthew’s probate case. Lisa Ferguson, Matthew’s longtime business manager who was appointed executor of his estate, revealed the actor left behind assets totaling $1,596,914.47.

Lisa said there have been no creditor’s claims filed and no unpaid creditor’s claims. “The estate is solvent,” the executor said.

Lisa said she did receive written demands for payments. She said all debts were handled without the need of the court’s intervention.

The report noted, “An extension for filing the federal estate tax return has been timely filed and Petitioner has made sufficient payments for the estate taxes estimated to be due. Petitioner will pay any additional estate taxes determined to be due, in her capacity as Trustee of the Alvy Singer Living Trust dated June 2, 1999, as amended.”

Lisa said all personal taxes, income taxes and all other taxes owed were paid. She said she has not sold any of Matthew’s assets. The beneficiaries of Matthew’s estate are his father, John Perry, his mother, Suzanne Morrison, his ex-girlfriend Rachel Dunn, half-sister Emily Morrison, half-sister Caitlin Morrison, half-sister Madeline Morrison, half-sister Maria Perry and William Morrison

Lisa asked the court to sign off on the final report and close the probate case. She also asked to be paid $28,000 for legal fees.

As In Touch previously reported, Matthew was found unresponsive in the hot tub at his L.A. mansion after an apparent drowning on October 28, 2023. He was 54 years old at the time of his death.

Back in March, Matthew’s team filed documents over his estate. The filing revealed that the actor created a will in 2009. He also created The Alvy Singer Living Trust, where he placed the majority of his assets.

Matthew asked that the trust be run by Lisa and Robin Ruzan, who happens to be actor Mike Myers’ ex-wife.

Matthew’s personal property, that was not already placed in the trust, was listed as $1 million. The rest of his property, including his home, are likely already in the trust.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office determined that Matthew died from the “acute effects of ketamine.” The toxicology report noted that the ketamine caused the actor to experience cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression.

An investigation was launched by the feds to determine how Matthew obtained the ketamine.

In August, it was announced that five individuals had been arrested over the actor’s death. Law enforcement arrested Jasveen Sangha aka “The Ketamine Queen,” Dr. Salvador Plasencia, Dr. Mark Chavez, Matthew’s assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, and Erik Fleming.

Erik, Keneth and Mark all reached deals with prosecutors and plead guilty. As In Touch first reported, Charlie Sheen‘s ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, was dragged into the investigation due to her connections to people tied to the case.

Following his death, Matthew’s former Friends costars spoke out about his unexpected passing.

Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer wrote, “We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family. There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.”

They added, “In time we will say more, as and when we are able. For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.”
