Jason Collins leaves portion of estate to family and LGBTQ organizations

Probate documents reveal that former NBA player Jason Collins left an estate valued at more than $1.8 million to his family, husband William Brunson Green, and two LGBTQ+ nonprofit organizations. The beneficiaries include his parents, twin brother Jarron Collins, and two groups, Glisten and Point Foundation, which support LGBTQ+ students. Collins signed the will in October 2025, one month after announcing he was undergoing treatment for a brain tumor. He died on May 12, 2026, at age 47 following an eight-month struggle with Stage 4 glioblastoma. While the filed documents detail personal property worth over $1.8 million, the court filings indicate additional assets may be held in separate private trusts. An aunt serves as the executor of the estate, with Green and Jarron Collins named as alternates.
