Singer didn’t have a will…
Amy Winehouse’s fortune will automatically go to her parents Mitch and Janis because she didn’t have a will, meaning her ex Blake Fielder-Civil won’t get a penny.
The ‘Love Is A Losing Game’ singer, who tragically died in July last year at the age of 27 after a night of boozing, actually had over £4 million in assets but had just under £3 million after taxes and unpaid bills.
According to The Sun, a source said: “There aren’t many 27-year-olds that make a will — and Amy didn’t either.
“She had no idea how much money she had and it certainly wasn’t the top of her priority list.”
The insider continued: “Had she made a will, Blake may have well been left something — not cash, perhaps an investment. Amy still loved him when she died. The way things are, Mitch and Janis have been handed the estate. They’re sensible and shrewd so it’s probably for the best Blake doesn’t get anything.”
Amy was married to Blake for just two years before their 2009 divorce, she was believed to have been worth £10 million following the success of her sophomore album Back To Black, but the source insists that Amy didn’t care about the money.

“You could have burned a pile of her cash in front of her and she would have lit a cigarette off the embers,” they said.
