When a beloved actor passes away, everyone wants to know: who gets the fortune? Well, honey, Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans just got a juicy answer, and it’s giving major family drama energy!
According to legal documents that just surfaced, late actor Nicholas Brendon allegedly left literally EVERYTHING to his twin brother Kelton Donovan Schultz. And we do mean everything, darling. Following Brendon’s shocking death in March at age 55, Kelton filed paperwork on June 15 that included what’s being described as a handwritten will from the Buffy alum. Talk about keeping it in the family!
Us Weekly obtained copies of these legal documents, and they’re painting quite the picture. The alleged handwritten will reportedly leaves zero wiggle room—Kelton is inheriting Brendon’s entire estate, which is honestly pretty standard for twins, but still! It’s the kind of detail that makes you wonder if there were any other family members expecting a piece of the pie. Awkward much?
For those keeping score at home, Brendon was best known for playing Xander Harris on the iconic supernatural series that ran from 1997 to 2003. The actor had quite the career beyond Buffy too, but it seems his most prized possessions were destined for his twin from the start. Some might call it sweet; others might call it selective. We’re here for all interpretations!
The timing of these documents becoming public—three months after his death—has fans buzzing on social media. Some are touching over the twin bond, while others are speculating about whether this was a surprise to extended family members. One Twitter user wrote, “That’s what I call sibling loyalty,” while another questioned, “But what about his other relatives?” The internet, as always, has thoughts!
Brendon’s passing was devastating to the Buffy fandom, who remembered him as a cornerstone of the show’s golden era. Now, this will reveal adds another layer to his legacy—one that’s decidedly family-focused and, frankly, pretty heartwarming when you think about it.
What do you think? A) Totally sweet that he left everything to his twin brother B) Strange that he didn’t diversify his estate among other family members
