What Happens to Will Smith’s estate in the event of a Divorce?
With new photos of the 150' acre estate in Calabasas, renewed interest in Will and Jada Smith’s ‘Will They Won’t They - Divorce” Relationship status.
So let’s recap, as if you didn’t know: Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have been married since 1997 but have lived separately since 2016 without finalizing a divorce, referring to each other as "life partners." Their relationship has faced public scrutiny, including Jada's "entanglement" with August Alsina and the 2022 Oscars incident, which she claims strengthened their bond. They prioritize family and support in navigating their unique relationship. In the years since the Oscars incident, they’ve sold a few homes, the Maryland House, and the gorgeous Woodland Hills House (see below) is on the market - sparking never ending rumors divorce is on the way.

In the event of a Will Smith divorce….
The division of property would be influenced by California's community property laws, any pre-nuptial agreements, negotiated settlements, property valuation, and custody considerations. Will Smith and his spouse's shared approach reflects their commitment to family and understanding. It is likely that their decisions would prioritize the well-being of their children and maintaining a positive environment for them.
Given their history of collaboration and mutual support, any legal proceedings might aim for amicable resolutions, ensuring that their familial ties remain intact. Their unique approach to partnership and family life, often shared publicly, suggests that they would handle the complexities of a divorce with the same openness and respect that they have demonstrated throughout their marriage. This includes potentially continuing to co-parent and collaborate on family projects, maintaining the close-knit atmosphere that has been a hallmark of their relationship.
