Scott Weiland's 2007 will made his ex-wife executor over his widow, and she spent years settling his tax liens and lawsuits

Scott Weiland died on his tour bus at 48 from an overdose of cocaine, alcohol and MDA. He had a will signed in 2007, the year he divorced Mary Forsberg. It named Mary as executor, not Jamie Wachtel, the wife he had married about two years before his death. Jamie said he was broke. Mary took charge and filed the accounts. In July 2018 a judge ordered the estate to pay $4,000 a month to Noah and Lucy, his children with Mary, until each turned 18. Her filings put the estate at about $1.6 million, with $645,500 owed to City National Bank^† and a $700,000 claim from a federal creditor. California's Franchise Tax Board placed a lien of almost $250,000. In April 2019 the IRS filed a lien for $818,569.62, alleging he paid no federal income tax for 2012 to 2014. Mary settled a $150,000 claim over a damaged tour bus for $25,000, and a $52,626 claim from the lawyers who defended him against Stone Temple Pilots for $32,000. Vice, Inc. had sued him shortly before he died for its $230,000 advance and $20 million over the Art of Anarchy album; Mary said Vice agreed to take songs he wrote instead. By July 2019 the estate reported $1,054,385.70 in royalties since his death and a value of $1,979,261.56. No closing of the estate has been reported as of 2026.
