Sir Bruce Forsyth left another £5.56million of his fortune for his wife Lady Wilnelia Merced in his entertainment promotions company's unchecked account, it has been reported.
Wilnelia, 60 - who took over control of the TV legend's company, Bruce Forsyth Promotions in his last month - had already inherited £11.5m from her late husband's will, while his son and five daughters didn't receive a penny.
The Daily Express reports the TV legend's will is said to be arranged by him in a bid to avoid inheritance tax, after he previously referred to it as 'over the top.'
Will: Sir Bruce Forsyth left another £5.56million of his fortune for his wife Lady Wilnelia Merced, 60, in his entertainment promotions company's account, it has been reported
Bruce sadly passed away in August 2017, aged 89 at his home, while surrounded by his family, after a battle with bronchial pneumonia.
And the Strictly Come Dancing presenter spoke out about inheritance tax two years before his death in an interview with the Radio Times, revealing: 'I think your inheritance should go to your children more than back to the country that you’ve lived in.
'I’m not saying you don’t owe the country something. Of course you owe your country a lot for living there all those years.
'But I think it can be a bit over the top,' he had added.
RIP: Bruce passed away in August of last year at the age of 89, after nearly 60 years in showbusiness (above in 1964)
Inheritance: Wilnelia - who took over control of the TV legend's company, Bruce Forsyth Promotions in his last month - had already inherited £11.5m from her late husband's will, while his son and five daughters didn't receive a penny
After his passing, Wilnelia, who was Miss World 1975, inherited £11.5million of his fortune - including his family home in Surrey and one in her native Puerto Rico.
Bruce is thought to have left everything to his wife after funeral and legal expenses to avoid inheritable tax, because had he left his fortune to anyone else, excluding charity, a 40 per cent tax would've been due on everything over £325,000.
The former actress and model was free to give away £650,000 without paying extra in tax.
Probate records showed that Bruce also left £100,000 in a trust for his nine grandchildren, who will be able to split the cash when they turn 21.
It was reported last year that the rest of his £40,000 fortune was split between the two executors of his estate.
A spokesman for his estate previously said: 'All I would say is that I think 99.9 per cent of married people would do this.'
In figures published in March last year, Spears magazine said Bruce had a net worth of approximately £17 million.

Wilnelia spoke candidly about her husband's death a year on in a candid interview with The Mail On Sunday last month, where she revealed she still talks to him everyday.
She said: 'Sometimes it feels like yesterday. I can't believe it's been a year. I was in London the other day and rushing, thinking I had to get home. But then I realised, what's the point?
'I try to be strong for the family, but if I told you it's been easy I'd be lying. I miss Bruce every single day. He was my mentor in a way. He had so much knowledge about everything and was such an easy person to talk to. I could speak to him about absolutely everything.
'I talk to him all the time anyway, but I miss sharing all the good news in the world, and the bad.'

But at the beginning of the year, Wilnelia also spoke of her joy at marrying the iconic entertainer.
During an appearance on ITV's This Morning she passionately admitted: 'I was so lucky to be married to him for 34 years. It was a very happy marriage.'
Wilnelia said she is thankful that she was able to make some special memories with Bruce before he passed away.
'He retired from Strictly, and he didn’t manage to do the last show; the Christmas show,' she said.
'He was planning to do some travelling and continuing and being in showbiz somehow. He wanted to be with his family.'
Bruce had kids Debbie, Julie and Laura from his 20-year marriage to first wife Penny Calvert; Charlotte and Louisa from his second marriage to Anthea Redfern, and Jonathan Joseph 'JJ' Forsyth-Johnson from his third marriage to Wilnelia.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
