Philip Seymour Hoffman's will has been filed, and it reveals that he had very specific ideas about how to raise his son, "It is my strong desire…that my son, Cooper Hoffman, be raised and reside in or near the borough of Manhattan…or Chicago, Illinois, or San Francisco, California."
Hoffman explained, "If my Guardian cannot reside in any of such cities, then it is my strong desire, and not direction, that my son, Cooper Hoffman, visit these cities at least twice per year throughout such guardianship. The purpose of this request is so that my son will be exposed to the culture, arts and architecture that such cities offer."
The will, which was written in 2004, when son Cooper was 1 (his daughters Willa, 5, and Tallulah, 7, were not born yet), names Hoffman's partner Mimi O'Donnell, the mother of his children, his main beneficiary and the executrix of the will. A trust was also set up for Cooper.
Hoffman died in a West Village apartment on February 2nd. It's believed he overdosed on heroin.
