ACTOR RAY BROOKS LEAVES £1.5M ESTATE TO TWO SONS

Ray Brooks, who appeared in both EastEnders and Coronation Street, left an estate valued at £1.5 million to his two sons following his death. Brooks died last year, with details of his estate having since come to light. The actor built the fortune across a lengthy career in British television. His two sons are the named beneficiaries of the estate.

Brooks was a recognised figure in British television, with roles in two of the country's longest-running soap operas, EastEnders and Coronation Street. His career spanned many years and encompassed a wide range of work in the industry. The disclosure of the estate's value follows the standard probate process in England and Wales, through which the details of wills become a matter of public record. The £1.5 million figure represents the total value of the estate left to his children.

The release of probate records confirms the distribution of Brooks's estate between his two sons. No legal disputes over the inheritance have been reported. The case adds to a series of recent disclosures relating to the estates of well-known British television figures. The details emerged as part of routine public record publication following the completion of the probate process.
