Ralphie May has left all of his personal effects to his wife Lahna Turner.
The comedian’s will has been revealed in court documents obtained by The Blast, leaving all tangible property including furniture, silver, paintings, automobiles, and clothing to his spouse.
The Inside Amy Schumer star passed away in Las Vegas, Nevada, on October 6 at the age of 45, just hours after coming off stage at Harrah’s.

Turner, also a comedian and the executor of his estate, will also get the rest, residue, and remainder of May’s estate, although the amount of which this is valued remains undetermined.
In the will, The Blast reports that May changed his mind three times on who would get custody of his two children in the event his wife died before him or he and his wife died simultaneously.
May and Turner filed for divorce in 2015, but it was never finalized prior to his death.
In the documents, May made it very clear the couple’s two children April, 10, and August, eight, should have ‘extensive visitation’ with their grandparents.

Earlier this week, TMZ revealed Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg had ruled May’s official cause of death was hypertensive cardiovascular disease and that his weight was a contributing factor in his death. Neither drugs nor alcohol was a factor in his death.
May was found dead at a private residence just hours after performing on stage at Harrah’s in Vegas. The comedian, known for his television appearances on Inside Amy Schumer, had been battling pneumonia for six weeks.
He was in the midst of a nationwide tour but had been forced to cancel some dates while he attempted to recover from his illness.

Two days before his death, May has crowned Casino Comedian Of The Year at the Global Gaming Expo in Vegas.
His manager, Judi Marmel, told TMZ: ‘As his manager and his friend, I will miss his laugh, his generosity to fellow comedians, his trademark orneriness, and his enormous love of life.
‘He left us entirely too soon — and we can only wonder where his comedy might have taken all of us. We send our love to his family, his fans, and all the comics who shared stages with him across the country.’
May is survived by his wife, Lahna Turner, their daughter April June, 10, and son August James, eight.
Lahna filed for divorce in 2015 after the couple had been married for ten years.

Divorce attorney Holly Davis advices: “If your husband passes away while you are in the middle of the divorce process, the legal implications can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of your case and might bring consequences like abatement, estate and inheritance matters, or posthumous divorce”.
