Celebrated Mexican actor, comedian and producer Eugenio Derbez, 63, surprised the press at the end of March 2025 by revealing that he has already prepared his will.
The decision is due to the recent death of several public figures and the desire to avoid family disputes over inheritances. Derbez remarked that “it is irresponsible not to have a will at any age. Leaving problems to those who are left behind is irresponsible”.
Will of Eugenio Derbez
Derbez pointed out that, with each revision of the document, he finds aspects that need to be adjusted or refined.
Living between Los Angeles – where he has been living since 2014 – and Mexico, he understands the importance of having legal clarity and order in case of any eventuality.
In addition, his family has published in media such as TV Azteca, El Imparcial and La Opinión that their main concern is to maintain family harmony after his departure, avoiding quarrels that could deteriorate the emotional and financial legacy.
Derbez is the father of four children: Aislinn (1986), Vadhir (1991), José Eduardo (1992) and Aitana (2014).
On previous occasions Vadhir joked that he was “the favorite son”, to which the actor clearly responded that there are no spoiled ones: “I adore all three of them, I love all three… but there are no favorites”. This message reinforces that each will be treated fairly in his or her will.
