Brittany Murphy left her husband out of her will.

The late 'Clueless' actress - who passed away aged 32 on December 20 2009 - left her entire estate to her mother Sharon Murphy, and nothing to British screenwriter Simon Monjack, it has been claimed.

Despite the snub, Simon is happy with the way his wife's assets have been divided, insisting it was on his request that he was not named a beneficiary.

According to the screenwriter, the will specifically said: "I am married to Simon Monjack who I have intentionally left out of this will."

According to gossip website TMZ, Brittany originally made a handwritten will years before she was married, which was stored in her manager's safe and left everything to Sharon.

She then had a formal document drafted, along with a trust, after marrying Simon, but continued to leave all her assets - the value of which is unknown - to her mother, who lived with the couple.

Sharon has now reportedly put their Los Angeles home - where Brittany was found unconscious in the shower - up for sale for US$7.5 million and she and Simon are planning to relocate to New York.

The 8,000 square foot estate was previously owned by Britney Spears, but Brittany bought it in 2003 for just under $4 million.
