90 Day Fiancé star David Murphey has left behind a 6-figure estate in the wake of his death at age 66.
Per court documents obtained by Us Weekly on Thursday, April 17, Murphey’s sister Robyn Polinsky filed a petition in March seeking to be named administrator of his estate. In Touch was the first to report the news.
“[David] was a single, unmarried man, with no children, either living or deceased,” Polinsky alleged in the documents. “He was predeceased by both of his parents.”
Polinsky claimed in the filing that she and sister Cheryl Hastings are his only immediate family members that are alive today. Polinsky alleged that their other sister Linda Murphey died before David.

“Due inquiry and search have been made to ascertain if [David] left a Last Will and Testament, or some other instrument dispositive of his estate, but none has been found and, according to [Robyn’s] best knowledge, information, and belief, [David] died intestate,” the docs claimed.
Polinsky alleged that the heirs to the estate are her and Hastings, claiming that she was “competent to serve as administrator of the estate” and “hereby consents to act as administrator.”
“So far as known to [her], the property of [David] within the State of Nevada consists of real and personal property of a gross value, which after deducting encumbrances, exceeds” $300,000,” the filing read. “All liquid assets of the estate should be placed in an attorney trust account, pending further order of this court.”
Weeks after filing her petition, In Touch reported that Polinsky filed new information explaining she learned that David owned a Montana LLC named Daves Nomadic Life. She alleged that the company owned a 2023 Cornerstone, 45-B, motor vehicle.
“It is in the best interest of the estate, and it is necessary that the administrator have authority to continue the operation of such company and to have authority to access bank accounts, receive payments and pay bills, execute agreements, contracts and other legal documents on behalf of the company and to liquidate and dispose of the motor vehicle.”

In the statement, the family referred to David as a “veteran, small business owner and software engineer.” The statement claimed that he recently retired from the Clark County Treasurer’s office in Nevada, and worked for H&R Block and IGT.
“He was also well known for his time as a cast member on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days,” they wrote. “His time on the show allowed him to connect with viewers, see the world, and share his experiences with his thousands of followers on Instagram. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and fans. David has survived by his two sisters and his cat Gamera. The family asked for privacy during this difficult time.”
Later that month, a Clark County, Nevada, spokesperson told Us that David — who had a history of pulmonary embolism — died from “cardiac arrhythmia and hypertensive cardiovascular disease.” His death was ruled natural.
