Late singer Scott Weiland's ex-wife Mary Forsberg has filed legal documents in Los Angeles requesting to be named the executor of his estate. Forsberg has two children with the late Stone Temple Pilots frontman, but the singer was married to Jamie Wachtel at the time of his death on December 3.
Weiland passed away of an accidental overdose on Dec. 3 at the age of 48, with a toxicology report stating the signer had cocaine, MDMA and alcohol in his system at the time of his death.
The frontman died after going into cardiac arrest on his tour bus while on tour with his band The Wildabouts. It was reported Weiland's heart disease and asthma also played a role in his death.
The singer was married to photographer Jamie Wachtel when he died. The couple met in 2011 while filming music videos for Weiland's Christmas album, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.
Weiland and Wachtel became engaged in November 2012 and married in 2013.

Biography.com reports the late frontman's first marriage to Janina Castenada inspired his song "Sour Girl," but he went on to marry model Mary Forsberg in 2000.
Weiland and Forsberg welcomed son Noah in November 2000 and a daughter named Lucy two years later.
Forsberg filed a will that was written in April 2007, just several months before the couple called it quits.
TMZ reports the documents state that the former Stone Temple Pilots singer had $2 million in assets and had also created a trust during his lifetime that includeed undisclosed assets.
After Weiland's death, Forsberg penned an open letter about her marriage to Weiland that was published in Rolling Stone. She asked fans not to "glorify the tragedy," adding that her ex-husband had little to do with their two children after he married Wachtel in 2013.
Forsberg wrote in the published letter that "when he remarried, the children were replaced." She adds, "They were not invited to his wedding; child support checks often never arrived. Our once sweet Catholic boy refused to watch the kids participate in Christmas Eve plays because he was now an atheist."
Wachtel has not yet commented on her late husband's ex-wife filing the legal claims to her late husband's estate.
On Monday, Wachtel thanked fans for their support and prayers in a post on Facebook. She added, "I love and miss him more than words could ever say."
