An arrangement between Mickey Rooney’s ex and the executor of his will has prevented a legal dispute over the actor’s remains, according to a report by CNN on Friday, April 11.

The agreement between the actor’s estranged wife, Jan Rooney, and the executor of his will, Michael Augustine, determined Rooney’s final resting place to be at the Hollywood Forever cemetery. The agreement also bars Chris Aber, the actor’s estranged stepson, from attending the service.

Mickey Rooney’s estate totaled at just $18,000, all of which will be left to his stepson Mark Rooney.

I solicited Peck Ritchey, LLC for assistance with a living trust for which I became the beneficiary. I needed assistance with understanding the details of how it all worked. However, I was especially concerned because there were threats of allegations made by family members and a lawsuit was filed against me. I needed a solid professional who had my best interests in mind. Peter Brady took my case and he managed it flawlessly. He explained everything in a way I could understand, he knew the law inside and out, he was always available to answer questions, and even offer support when things seemed like they could become extremely problematic. In addition to this, he had a plan. He navigated the course as if he already knew the next move by the opposing attorney. He made me feel like everything was in control and that’s because he knew exactly what he was doing and he consulted with me about everything. We ended up settling out of court and ultimately the court officially dismissed the lawsuit. I honestly believe if it wasn’t for Peter and his expertise this could have gone in an entirely different direction. Peter did a stellar job and I couldn’t be more pleased and impressed with his performance.
