Jade leaves all her money to sons

Details of tragic Jade Goody's will are starting to emerge and it's been reported that she left sons Bobby and Freddie £2 million each.

However, contrary to other reports, sources say that Jade's husband Jack Tweed will inherit nothing.

Jade had apparently offered him her £1 million Essex home but he had refused to accept it telling her he couldn't live there without her. So instead she left it to her mother Jackiey.

The boys will live with their father and the £2 million each will be in a trust which will provide them with the education Jade longed for them to have.

Experts claim that Jade's marriage to Jack - although not designed in order for him to inherit money from the late star, did have a financial bonus. They say that the union has resulted in Jade's sons avoiding a massive 40 per cent inheritance tax on what their loving mother left them - which would have came to nearly £1 million each. But with Jack acting as Jade's surviving spouse the money will pass through him directly to the boy's trust.

There are hundreds of families going through the same thing without the publicity and public grieving. Dont know why Jade is nearing saint hood in manys eyes when not long ago she was the butt of jokes and a gossip magazine's target. What did she actually do? She may have got girls more savvy about cervical health but that was a by product of her gaining financially and raising her own profile. Why does everyone seem to think think that having millions is going to help her boys? I hope they get left alone by the press and manage as normal an upbringing as possible. Quite frankly Denise I'm insulted that you think Jade has doen more in her 27 years than most people do n a lifetime. Some people just dont do their "good" in the full glare of publicity.

I have nothing but admiration for this much loved girl. How many of us can say we had lots of friends who loved us very much,earned what she did and left her sons with a tremendous legacy. She has also done more to save the lives of women the world over by making cervical screening popular. How sad it came too late to save her. I wish her family all the best for the future. I am sure they will honour her memory appropriately. Stupid Girl I don't think so I admired her for her fire her honesty and for the woman she was. If anyone deserved an MBE I think it is her.

A nice payoff for the boys when they're older but what about until then? I assume she will contribute to bringing the boys up or will Jeff foot the bill for that?

Your boys must be so very proud of you! May you rest in peace Jade, your work on earth is done. It's time to rest and watch your boys grow. You probably did more in your 27 years than most people do in a lifetime.

For someone with so little education she has done her family proud. How many of us have provided for our family for after we die? I know I haven't.
