Description

Sellers prepares to divorce his last wife, making several generous provisions

Notarized DS, 13 pages, 8.5 x 11, June 15, 1979. Marital settlement agreement between Sellers and his last wife Lynne Frederick. Document states the couple separated “on or about May 1, 1979 and intend hereafter to live separate and apart.” Document goes on to detail some of the arrangements which include, “Husband shall pay Wife as and for spousal support the sum of $12,000 per month…Husband agrees that there shall be delivered…outstanding shares of stock…all right, title, and interest into the real property and residence…Husband agrees to pay to Wife the sum of Thirty Thousand Dollars…cash, to be used by Wife for the purchase of an automobile of Wife’s choosing.” Signed on the last page by Sellers and Frederick, with two additional notarized pages affixed to the conclusion of the document. In fine condition, with punch holes to top, staple to top left corner, and ribbon binding to edge. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from James Spence. Although Sellers was reportedly in the process of excluding Frederick from his will a week before he died, she inherited almost his entire estate worth an estimated £4.5 million, as the divorce had not been finalized. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
