Amy Winehouse`s £3million fortune will go to her parents
The tragic singer - who died after a drinking binge last July aged just 27 - did not leave a will, meaning her estate will be passed to her parents, and not her ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil.
According to The Sun newspaper, Amy had more than £4,257,580 in assets, with £2,944,554 remaining after taxes and unpaid bills.
A source said: "There aren`t many 27-year-olds that make a will - and Amy didn`t either.
"She had no idea how much money she had and it certainly wasn`t the top of her priority list.
"Had she made a will, Blake may have well been left something - not cash, perhaps an investment. Amy still loved him when she died.
"The way things are, Mitch and Janis have been handed the estate. They`re sensible and shrewd so it`s probably for the best Blake doesn`t get anything."
The `Back to Black` hitmaker - who had a turbulent two-year marriage to Blake before their 2009 divorce - was believed to have been worth £10million after hitting the big time, although the insider insists she didn`t care about her cash.
The source added: "You could have burned a pile of her cash in front of her and she would have lit a cigarette off the embers."
Amy`s company Cherry Westfield was worth £2,004,963 at the time of her death, while her second business, CW Touring, was worth just £8,032 compared to £142,012 in 2009.
