Chuck's money (possible spoiler)


If Chuck dies in the fire, might Jimmy stand to inherit all or part of his estate, which, I imagine would consist of the $9m he's collecting from HHM, as well as his, I'd think, pre-existing wealth? Jimmy's the only living relative we know of from the series, unless I'm forgetting someone who was mentioned. Or, will all of Chuck's assets go to his ex?

I thought the same thing Marlon.

It would depend on if Chuck left a will which he most likely did. Being the colossal douchebag that he was, Chuck probably left his estate to some pompous asshat organization. He definitely did not leave Jimmy anything unless it's something condescending and insulting.

Haha! I love this post and it rings true.

You can bet that Chuck had a will, and the Jimmy wasn't in it. It probably goes to his ex-wife or something.

reply

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that if Chuck had a will, Jimmy's name wouldn't be anywhere near it. It's kind of hard to picture a lawyer as big as Chuck not having a will with all loose ends tied up.

reply

Jimmy probably is in the will, but only to specifically disqualify him from any possible inheritance. Just to make sure there are no loopholes for Jimmy to exploit.

reply

Chuck definitely would have done his best to keep Jimmy from inheriting any of his estate. The only way Jimmy could be a beneficiary would be if someone was unethical and clever enough to undetectably alter the will. But that could never happen.

I think it went to his ex-wife. It was pretty clear at the time of that dinner he made for the three of them that Chuck was still very much in love with her.

Chuck better be dead from all this buildup to his denouement. That said, what you said is one of the important things viewers want to know. They want to know if Chuck really meant what he said as his last words to Jimmy. We also need to know why his EHS came back. Of course, we all have the clues to tell us the answers already, but want to see it just the same. Another side story could be that of Rebecca if she didn't know about his condition, but she does. Thus, it's whether he left some or all the money to her.

I also wondered if he will end up inheriting Chuck's money.
