It’s been a little over eight months since the passing of David Cassidy, who left us at the age of 67 due to organ failure. While the world mourned the loss of this iconic figure, the details surrounding his estate have only recently come to light. According to The Blast, David's son, Beau Cassidy, is set to inherit far more than anyone initially anticipated. This news has sparked curiosity and conversation about the financial legacy David left behind.
Beau Cassidy's Unexpected Windfall
Reports suggest that Beau, now 27 years old, will inherit his late father’s estate, which has been reassessed to be worth $200,000. Initially, the estate was valued at $150,000, but after accounting for debts, it was adjusted upward. That’s not all—Beau was also named as a beneficiary in David’s $450,000 retirement plan and a $1 million life insurance policy. When you do the math, Beau is walking away with a staggering $1.68 million, about 10 times more than what was originally estimated. This revelation has certainly turned heads and raised eyebrows, leaving many to reflect on the complexities of inheritance and legacy.
David Cassidy's Will: A Surprising Exclusion

Interestingly, earlier reports indicated that David chose to exclude his older daughter, Katie Cassidy, who is 31, from his will. It was documented that David explicitly stated it was his “specific intent not to provide any benefits hereunder to Katherine Evelyn Cassidy and/or any descendant [of hers].” This decision has naturally raised questions about the nature of their relationship and the reasons behind such a choice. Katie, however, has not publicly commented on the matter, keeping her thoughts and feelings private during this sensitive time.
Understanding the Relationship Between David and Katie
For those unfamiliar with their story, Katie didn’t meet her father until she was in the fourth grade. This delay in their connection meant that their relationship developed later in life. Despite this, Katie has always spoken fondly of David, describing him as one of her closest friends. “I didn’t meet my father until I was in the fourth grade,” she once shared. “The world doesn’t know that. Not because I’m hiding it, it just hasn’t been discussed. My biological father and I had a really good relationship at one point. He was one of my close friends and gave me wonderful advice.”
David, too, was aware of their estranged relationship and expressed his feelings openly. “I wasn’t her father. I was her biological father but I didn’t raise her. She has a completely different life,” he told People. Yet, he couldn’t help but feel immense pride in her accomplishments. “I’m proud of her. She’s very talented,” he added, showing that despite the distance, he held her in high regard.
Even amidst the challenges of their relationship, Katie remains proud to be David’s daughter. In a recent interview with Us Weekly, she reflected on their connection, saying, “My dad was a wonderful, wonderful person. Sadly, he had some demons. There is a silver lining in all of that.” She went on to express gratitude for the lessons learned and the bond that grew stronger over time. “You live and learn and it has brought my family closer together so I’m grateful for that.”
