The late author Dame Jilly Cooper has left her children with an £8.5m fortune following her death at the age of 88.
Dame Jilly, who was known for her “bonkbuster” novels, including Riders, Rivals and Polo, died on 5 October last year after she suffered a head injury in a fall at her home in Bisley, Gloucestershire.
Probate records show she left a gross estate of £9,070,307 with a net value of £8,557,118 and her beneficiaries were her children Felix and Emily and stepdaughter Laura, all of whom will receive an equal share.
One of the signatories on the documents was a professional polo player – apt given that Dame Jilly was known for writing about polo-playing members of the aristocracy.
