ET First: Ted Kennedy’s Will

ET has obtained a copy of Ted Kennedy's last will and testament, and only we are first to show you the documents…

An interesting element to the will is that the executor, Paul Kirk, will fill Kennedy's seat now that he's gone. A former Kennedy staffer, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee and the head of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, Kirk was officially named this week as interim senator until a special election in January.

The rest of the will, signed by Kennedy and notarized on August 25, 2006, is straightforward business, giving all property "of whatever kind and wherever located" to the trustees of The Edward M. Kennedy 2006 Trust, providing for the payment of debts, funeral and burial expenses and the expenses of administering his estate and related taxes for his wife Victoria R. Kennedy and his children.
