New details were revealed Thursday about the will of former Providence Mayor Vincent "Buddy" Cianci.

The will was completed more than ten years ago, just before Cianci served time for his federal corruption charge that forced him to resign as mayor.

It reveals Cianci put all of his wealth into a trust to be managed by his longtime friend and former city solicitor, Charles Mansolillo.

The will was signed on September 4th of 2002, just days before he was sentenced to five years in prison on federal corruption charges.

Cianci names his late daughter, Nicole, and two of her three children, Olivia and Joseph, as the sole beneficiaries. His third grandchild, Julius, is not mentioned, because he was not born yet. He also mentions his sister Carol as a secondary trustee.

The contents of his trust are not public, so there is no way of knowing exactly how much he left behind.

His fiancé, Tara Marie Haywood, is not named. They only recently got engaged and his will was never updated.
