O.J. Simpson: Nicole Wrote Her Will Just Weeks Before Her Death

Nicole Brown Simpson wrote her last will and testament just weeks before her death — and the same month that she had her final fight with her abusive ex-husband O.J. Simpson!

Nicole signed her fateful do-it-yourself will on May 8, 1994 — shortly before she turned 35 years old. On the night of June 12, she was brutally murdered alongside her friend Ron Goldman outside of her condo in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.

The will was also written just three weeks before Nicole returned her days-old birthday present of a gem-studded bracelet to Simpson, telling her abusive ex: "I cannot be bought!" After Nicole's death, a close friend told The National ENQUIRER: "She was paralyzed with fear in the last month of her life."

"She started to put her affairs in order," added the source, "and the will was part of it." Nicole was also trying to sell her condo in Brentwood. Her only source of income was Simpson's monthly child support payment of $10,000.

Nicole had already downsized before to another residence with a guest house she had rented to Kato Kaelin. Another friend said: "She felt powerless and scared...she was trying to make a step toward independence."

Almost all of Nicole's $700,000 estate was left to her children. More than $400,000 of her worth had come from a one-time payment from Simpson as part of their final divorce agreement. Her ex-husband wasn't mentioned in the will.
