Jefferey Epstein signed a will just two days before he hanged himself in his New York jail cell, documents show.

The 21-page filing includes a copy of Epstein’s death certificate from August 15, five days after his suicide - and lists ‘Immediate Cause: Pending Further Study’. Jefferey Epstein said he was worth $550 million in the document, filed in the US Virgin Islands, and put all of his holdings in a trust.

The will notes that Epstein’s only potential heir was his brother Mark Epstein.

Its executors are named as two of Epstein’s long-time employees, lawyer Darren Indyke and businessman Richard Kahn.

A third man, Boris Nikolic, is listed as an alternate.

They are set to receive $270,000 for their work on Epstein’s estate.
