Brittany Murphy left her entire estate to her mother, Sharon, TMZ has learned.

Sources say years before Brittany was married she wrote a holographic (handwritten) will, leaving everything to her mom. The will was stored in her manager’s safe.

Brittany’s husband, Simon Monjack, told TMZ after they got married Brittany had a formal will drafted, along with a trust. Simon tells us all of her assets under the new will and trust go to Sharon.

Simon tells us, at his request, the will specifically says, “I am married to Simon Monjack who I have intentionally left out of this will.”

Sharon Murphy listedBrittany’s  house today for $7.25 million. The house, located in the Hollywood Hills, is 8,000 square feet on 1.29 acres.

Brittany bought the house for just under $4 million in 2003. She purchased the home from Britney Spears.

We’re told the title to the house is held in a blind trust, and Sharon is the sole trustee.

Monjack tells TMZ when the house is sold and Brittany’s estate is wrapped up, he and Sharon are moving to New York.

Simon Monjack tells UsMagazine.com it wasn’t easy for him to read his late wife Brittany Murphy’s final autopsy report, which was released Thursday. He says he and the actress’ mother Sharon “both sobbed and sobbed. I haven’t gotten out of bed yet. I pulled the report away from Sharon because I thought I was going to have to sedate her.”

Despite the anguish, he tells Us he found “solace” in the report because it reaffirmed what he had been insisting all along – that his wife never abused illegal drugs. (The report stated that she had “elevated levels” of Vicodin and drugs from over-the-counter cold medicine in her system.) “She never did anything that she was accused of!” he tells Us. “We never hid anything. And that’s been the case with everything in our marriage. Maybe with her death, people will start to realize – yes, we had a lot of prescriptions around, but if you look at some of them, they date from 2001!”

As for doctor’s reports that Murphy’s death could have been prevented, Monjack tells Us, “Any death could be prevented. It’s a tragedy.” Monjack says he had no idea that his wife was suffering from pneumonia which, exacerbated by multiple drug intoxication, caused her to die Dec. 20 at age 32. “Like all deaths, I go over and over and over it,” he says. “She was dead within two hours of waking up, saying ‘My chest is tight. I can’t take a breath!’ But that was part of her normal menstrual cycle. It was the perfect storm.”

He tells Us he wishes people would leave him alone and “stop coming out with these ridiculous stories” about their marriage. “Our marriage was dogged by these ridiculous rumors. Brittany’s life was dogged by ridiculous rumors, and the truth always wins out,” Monjack tells Us. “I hope people have the sense to really understand that everything was beautiful and wonderful in our relationship and so pure.”

The L.A. County Coroner has released the drugs that were in Brittany Murphy’s system when she died.

According to the report, “Multiple medications were present in the blood, with elevated levels of hydrocodone, acetaminophen, and chlorpheniramine. L-methamphetamine was also present.”

The report goes on, “It should be noted that the pattern of use of these medications suggest treatment of symptoms of a cold or other respiratory infection. Acetaminophen and hydrocodone are components of Vicodin. Chlorpheniramine is the active ingredient in some over-the-counter medications. L-methamphetamine is a component of some inhalers.”

We broke the story that the Coroner believed Brittany had pneumonia and tried self-medicating with prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs … and it ultimately proved fatal.

The report states, “The possible adverse physiological effects of elevated levels of these medications cannot be discounted, especially in her weakened state. Therefore the manner of death is Accident.”

UPDATE: There were 24 empty prescription bottles found at the scene for the following medications: prevacid, clonazepam, propranolol, vicoprofen, zolpidem, carbamazepine, klonopin, Ativan, hydorocodone (Vicodin) and multiple vitamins.

Also, three benzodiazapines found in her bloodstream did not match up with prescription bottles found in Brittany’s name.

The Brittany Murphy Foundation, which is run by Murphy’s husband, Simon Monjack, and mother, Sharon Murphy, hasn’t filed the necessary documents to qualify as a charity or nonprofit group and is now returning all donations. On Sunday, TMZ first reported that the foundation was not registered as a charity with the IRS or the state of California, as required by law. The foundation has issued an apology letter on its official Web site . “In an effort to get the foundation off the ground quickly, we established it as a private foundation with plans to apply for nonprofit status down the road. However, after some thought, we have decided instead to wait until we have our nonprofit status approved before proceeding to ensure that we can truly honor Brittany’s charitable desires. Any donations made up until this point will be returned until we have all our paperwork solidified,” the letter reads.

Brittany Murphy could still be alive today had she seen a doctor sooner, a Los Angeles coroner official says.

“This death could’ve been preventable,” Assistant Chief Ed Winter tells People. “Murphy was planning on seeing a doctor, but she unfortunately passed away before she did. This was a case of a person with pneumonia who was anemic (having a low blood count) who was taking medication when she should’ve been getting medical treatment.”

Winter confirms that no illegal drugs were found in the actress’s system: “It was only prescription and over-the-counter meds,” he said.

In an interview with People last month Murphy’s husband Simon Monjack maintained that his wife had visited a doctor. “I took very good care of my wife … She was on an antibiotic and she was taking cough medicine and doing all the right things,” he said.

Winter tells People that Murphy “had been sick for several days, and the last time she saw a doctor was awhile ago.”

He added, “Her husband and mom had been sick for a few days, and they were getting over it when [Murphy] got it.”

Regarding concern from Murphy’s friends that Monjack should be investigated, Winter said: “He was never considered a suspect. No one’s criminally liable here because this has been ruled an accident.”

The Los Angeles County coroner said Brittany Murphy died from pneumonia but prescription drug intoxication was also a factor.

The coroner released its results Thursday.

Spokesman Craig Harvey says the primary cause of Murphy’s death was pneumonia, with secondary factors of iron-deficiency anemia and multiple drug intoxication. Harvey says the drugs ingested were all prescription medications.

Harvey declined to say more about what types of drugs were involved. He says those details will be released in about two weeks when a complete report is ready.

Murphy died Dec. 20 at age 32 after collapsing at her Hollywood Hills home. Her mother and husband have said that the actress didn’t abuse prescription medications or have an eating disorder.

Attempts to contact them Thursday were unsuccessful.

UPDATE from TMZ:

Sources involved in Brittany Murphy’s autopsy tell TMZ her death was “preventable.”

Sources say the primary causes of Murphy’s death were pneumonia and severe anemia. L.A. County Coroner officials believe Brittany’s condition was “treatable” but no one took her to the hospital in time.

As for the multiple drugs found in her system, we’re told they were both prescription, including medicine for cramps, and over-the-counter medications, including cough syrup. Our sources say the drugs “pushed her over the line” but the underlying problems were the pneumonia and anemia.

In other words, Brittany was really sick, didn’t get treatment and by self-medicating it pushed her over the line.

From TMZ:

Brittany Murphy’s husband has suddenly called off the fundraising party he was throwing in her honor tomorrow night — but the man who pulled the plug isn’t saying why.

Simon Monjack had planned a huge launch party Thursday night for his new Brittany Murphy Foundation — an organization he claims is dedicated to arts education for children. Monjack had been reportedly soliciting $1,000 donations per person to attend.

But just days before the big night, someone called the Beverly Hills Temple of the Arts — where the event was supposed to go down — and told the Rabbi to hold the Manischewitz… because the party was off.

We’re told Monjack insists the party was simply postponed — but so far, no new date has been set.
