Cilla Black 'leaves £15m to her sons in her will': Brothers set to receive £3m each after paying £6m in inheritance tax - while her housekeeper gets £20,000


Cilla Black's sons (from left) Robert, 45, Jack, 35, and Ben, 41, will allegedly pay almost £6million in inheritance tax, leaving them with about £3million each of the late TV presenter's huge fortune. However they are expected to receive even more from Miss Black because her £2million villa in Spain and £1.5million penthouse in Barbados are not included in her UK estate. The only other person receiving money from 72-year-old Miss Black will be her housekeeper Penny Walker who will get £20,000, according to court papers revealed in a newspaper. A source said: 'She adored her sons and treated Penny as part of the family.' Her son Robert Willis acted as her manager after her husband Bobby died of cancer in 1999 and is a director of the firm CB Prime Limited, which was formed as she began her career in 1964. Brothers Ben and Jack are also directors.
