JAKARTA - Chester Bennington's ex-wife will receive 50 percent of Linkin Park's royalties. This news was disclosed by TMZ recently.

Two years ago, Samantha Olit - who was married to vocalist Linkin Park from 1996 to 2005 - filed a claim with Bennington Estate demanding royalties and child support. However, the latter case was withdrawn in June.

The executive, who filed the legal document with a court judge's endorsement, said he would allow Samantha's royalties claim, which includes part of non-touring merchandise, publishing rights and part of master recordings.

Samantha and Chester's son, Draven, was born on April 19, 2002. Chester married Talinda Bennington shortly after his divorce from Samantha, and has three children.

It was revealed in October 2017 that Chester left his entire estate with his widow and six children, including two children from his relationship with Elka Brand.

Chester left his retirement account with Talinda Bennington and shared the remaining assets with her six children through the Chester And Talinda Bennington Family Trust. The trust was established in 2007 and amended in 2009, according to a will obtained by TMZ.

TMZ previously reported that Chester asked his children to visit each other after his death. He has even provided funds for their visiting trip.

Chester ended his life tragically on July 20, 2017. He was buried nine days later at the South Coast Botanic Garden in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.

Reporting from NME, this funeral ceremony is equipped with a large stage used for the appearance of a number of musicians who want to pay their respects to Chester. About 200 friends and family attended the ceremony, which was held privately.

Meanwhile, Samantha reportedly made a post on Facebook in August 2017. She claims she and Draven were not allowed to speak at Chester's funeral because the event was like a radio festival. In addition, he claims to lack respect from Talinda.

Samantha also claimed that Chester's parents were not at the funeral and were not named at the event.
