Part 5/7:
Betsy’s will contains a unique provision that stipulates if she and Hackman were to die within 90 days of each other, their assets would be bestowed upon charity. This clause now looms over their estate, especially since authorities believe Betsy passed away from a health issue—specifically, pulmonary syndrome—around February 11, 2023. Jean Hackman, reported to have been in an advanced state of Alzheimer’s, died shortly after, on February 18. The media has reported that investigations suggest their deaths could be ruled simultaneous, thus activating the charitable clause.
