“Kiko de Leon and Kenneth de Leon did not receive any inheritance from Nora Aunor, leaving them deeply disappointed. It has now been revealed where the late Nora Aunor’s remaining wealth will go. According to a source, Nora’s lawyer allegedly disclosed the full contents of her Last Will and Testament, which reportedly caused great disappointment for the other members of the de Leon family, specifically Kenneth and Kiko.

One of the statements in the will reportedly indicated that the two adopted children of the late Nora Aunor did not receive any inheritance. One of the reasons given was that Nora Aunor knew they would be taken care of by her two daughters, Lotlot and Matet. This was one of the main reasons they were excluded from the inheritance—because Nora believed that her other children, especially her biological son Ian de Leon, would look after them.”
