Philip Seymour Hoffman leaves much of estate to Mimi O'Donnell
ROBERT GALBRAITH/REUTERSDoomed actor Philip Seymour Hoffman left much of his estate to his longtime girlfriend - and insisted their son be raised a New Yorker.
'It is my strong desire ... that my son Cooper Hoffman, be raised and reside in or near the borough of Manhattan,' Hoffman wrote in his will, which was unveiled Wednesday.

And if girlfriend Mimi (Marianne) O'Donnell 'cannot reside in any of such cities, then it is my strong desire' that Cooper 'visit these cities at least twice a year.'

'The purpose of this request is so that my son will be exposed to the culture, art and architecture that such cities offer,' the papers state.
Noticeably not on the will was Los Angeles, the city where Hoffman launched his movie career.

At the time, Connor's sisters, Tallulah, 7, and Willa, 5, were still a gleam in Hoffman's eyes.

The papers, which were filed in Manhattan Surrogate Court, did not reveal the estimated value of Hoffman's estate.
But it set up a trust for Connor, the full principal of which he will inherit when he turns 30.
Hoffman, who won an Academy Award playing the title role in 'Capote' and was considered one of the greatest actors of his generation, was living in a $10,000-a-month West Village rental when his dead body was discovered Feb. 2.
O'Donnell lived nearby in their $4.2 million condo on Jane St. and Hoffman saw the kids just about every day. But the couple became estranged last year when after more than two decades of living drug-free Hoffman became hooked on heroin.
Some 70 baggies of smack were found in Hoffman's rental and police suspect he died of an overdose.
