Bob Saget's Family Inherited The Full House Star's Estate
Since Bob Saget had three daughters and was married to Kelly Rizzo at the time of his death, it seems likely that Saget's family inherited his estate. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Bob Saget had a $50 million net worth.
According to Webwire.com, Rodney J. Hatley, an attorney who is an expert in estate planning, explained that Bob Saget made sure that his mansion was part of his estate. This meant that when he passed away, his loved ones received his money and also his property.
In an interview with Webwire.com, Hatley said of Bob Saget's estate:
“Generally speaking, most individuals should have an estate plan and make sure to keep it updated. In Bob’s case, his estate plan included a trust that owned his home and other assets. Given the size of his estate, reportedly $50 million, I expect that Bob had additional planning. As such, there won’t be any probate and his assets will be distributed to people and causes he cared about."

California's Forest Lawn Memorial Park is where some of the biggest stars in history have been put to rest, including the late Bob Saget.Hatley also said, “Because Bob Saget’s home was owned by a trust, it will avoid probate, which is expensive, public, and time-consuming. If Bob had only had a will, or no plan at all, then the probate fees for his home would have been $142,000, or 2% of the value of that asset. Bob received good advice from his estate planning attorney and saved his estate hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
