(NewsCore) - Elizabeth Edwards cut her estranged husband, former US presidential candidate John Edwards, from her will less a week before she died, Inside Edition reported Wednesday, after obtaining a copy of the document.
In the will signed on Dec. 1, six days before she died, Elizabeth Edwards left her estate to her three children, naming eldest daughter Cate, a lawyer, executor of the will.
"All of my furniture, furnishings, household goods, jewelry, china, silverware and personal effects and any automobiles owned by me at the time of my death, I give and bequeath to my children,” the will stated.
There was no mention of her husband in the five-page document. The pair separated shortly after after former Senator John Edwards admitted in January 2010 that he had a child out of wedlock.
Elizabeth Edwards died in her North Carolina home on Dec. 7 home after a six-year battle with breast cancer.
