Joan Rivers only has one daughter, but she’s not leaving everything to Melissa Rivers. The late comedienne’s will reveals that she also left her estimated U$150 million [$180 million] fortune to several family members, friends, employees and charities.

The 81-year-old “Fashion Police” presenter died of brain damage due to lack of oxygen during a minor throat procedure in September. In her will, she had named Melissa as the executor with “the broadest and most absolute permissible direction” over her estate. Her 46-year-old daughter also gets all of Joan’s tangible property. She named Michael D. Karlin and Robert Higdon as co-executors.

The will, a copy of which is obtained by Page Six, lacks details, and the beneficiaries are provided via blind trust. It states Joan had allotted unspecified amounts to Melissa’s son, Edgar Cooper Endicott, and to Joan’s niece and nephew Caroline Waxler and Andrew Waxler. Her close staff are also named recipients, including her assistants Jocelyn Pickett and Sabrina Lott Miller, as well as her publicist Scott Currie.

Joan’s generosity was evident in her will. She reserved a portion of her wealth to a number of charities, including God’s Love We Deliver, the New York-based organisation which prepares meals to people who are too ill to buy their food. It can be remembered that Joan named the charity as her beneficiary when she won “The Celebrity Apprentice 2” in 2009.

Other charities named in her will include Guide Dogs for the Blind, Jewish Guild for the Blind, Simon Wiesenthal Centre, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the Jewish Home and Hospital Foundation.

Joan suffered from serious complications on August 28 while undergoing upper-gastric endoscopy and laryngoscopy at the Yorkville Endoscopy Clinic in Manhattan. She stopped breathing, and was resuscitated after an hour. She was put on life support after she was transferred to a hospital. Unfortunately, she died several days later of brain damage caused by lack of oxygen on September 4.
