Formula One legend Michael Schumacher, who is battling for his life following a ski accident in late December, is reportedly planning to leave his 750 million-pound fortune to his family to 'support all those who are important to him', according to a will he made three years ago.
The former seven-time German champion remains in a medically induced coma since the accident on December 29 in the French ski resort of Meribel, where he owns a chalet.
According to the Daily Star, Schumacher had said in 2010 that he has made his testament as he is a 'family man', adding that he believed that 'anything can happen in everyday life'.
Meanwhile, the report said that speculation is mounting that French prosecutors may be preparing charges against the operators of the piste area where the tragedy happened and if any charges are laid they could pave the way for a multi-million pound lawsuit from Schumacher's family.
