A year after the passing of iconic Mexican actress Silvia Pinal, renewed speculation and controversy surrounding her estate are making headlines. On November 28, 2025, the first anniversary of her death, rumors about the distribution of her wealth have resurfaced.
The process of executing Pinal’s will and distributing her significant assets faces considerable hurdles. The designated executor, MarÃa Elena Galindo, has reportedly resigned. This development has left the entire inheritance process in a state of indefinite suspension.
Reports vary widely regarding the initial inheritance amounts received by her children. Infobae indicated that Pinal’s three children, Alejandra Guzmán, Sylvia Pasquel, and Luis Enrique Guzmán, each received approximately $5.86 million (100 million Mexican pesos).
Other outlets, such as the program Ventaneando, suggest a lower figure. They reported that each heir received around $2.11 million (36 million Mexican pesos). Granddaughters and great-granddaughters were also listed as beneficiaries, according to Caras magazine.
The legendary family mansion in Jardines del Pedregal remains a central point of discussion. Sylvia Pasquel has publicly stated that Alejandra Guzmán, given her financial capacity, might be the one to keep the valuable property.
Another point of contention involves a painting of Pinal by Diego Rivera. It was rumored to be included in the will. However, Pasquel clarified that this artwork is likely part of a trust or national heritage. This means it cannot be personally inherited by family members.
Meanwhile, granddaughters Stephanie Salas and her daughter Michelle Salas are reportedly receiving economic benefits. These benefits are said to stem from life insurance policies or bank accounts. This suggests Pinal intended to distribute her wealth across different generations.
Despite some monetary distributions, many valuable assets are still under scrutiny. These include the mansion, other real estate holdings, the theater named after her, various artworks, and additional properties. This situation continues to fuel speculation about who will ultimately claim these parts of her legacy, as reported by Infobae.
Experts in estate law suggest the ongoing lack of legal clarity could significantly prolong the dispute. The executor’s resignation further complicates the matter. A resolution could potentially take months or even years.
Publicly, family members like Sylvia Pasquel deny any internal “feud.” They advocate for unity and respect, emphasizing Silvia Pinal’s enduring legacy as an entertainment icon that transcends any monetary value.
