Legal documents have shown that Celine Dion's husband, René Angélil, who passed away from throat cancer in January, left her as the official administrator of his estate, along with 2 others.

According to TMZ, the documents reveal that René left a will to this effect. He left homes in Canada to two of his kids from his first marriage. He and Celine also have 2 vast estates (a $45 million Florida estate and $25 million Quebec castle), both of which are up for sale.

Once the properties are sold, $9 million will go to a trust (most likely for his three children with Céline). Other properties, furniture, cars, clothing, jewelry and personal effects all go to Celine.
