Late ‘90 Day Fiance' Star David Murphey's Family Sells Off His Biggest Asset for 6-Figure Sum
90 Day Fiance star David Murphey's Las Vegas home was sold off months after his tragic death due to cancer, In Touch can exclusively report.
On May 23, David's sister Robyn Polinsky, who was appointed administrator of his estate, informed a Nevada judge about the sale.
The most valuable asset that David left behind was his three-bedroom, three-bathroom, 1,535-square-foot home. He purchased the property for $190,325 in 2004.
Robyn explained she found a buyer who offered $335,000 for the home. She asked the court to approve the sale.
As In Touch previously reported, David died on December 11, 2024, at the age of 66. In court documents, his family described him as a 'single, unmarried man with no children, either living or deceased.'
Robyn said David's parents had both passed, along with their sister, Linda Murphey.
Robyn said the only beneficiaries of David's estate were her and their other sister, Cheryl Hastings.
David did not leave behind a will, his sister claimed.
'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 interstate,' her petition to be named administrator read.
Robyn said David had personal and real property worth over $300,000.
David's sister also told the court the reality star had a business in Montana named Daves Nomadic Life.
She said David owned a 2023 Cornerstone 45-B motor vehicle, which was apart of the business.
Her petition stated, '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.'
'All liquid assets of the estate should be placed in an attorney trust account, pending further order of this court,' Robyn's petition read.
According to David's death certificate, obtained by In Touch, the medical examiner listed his cause of death as cardiac arrhythmia and hypertensive cardiovascular disease. David's death was listed as being 'natural.'
TMZ reported the reality star had been battling liver cancer for over a year and had over 13 surgeries before his death. After his death, David's family released a statement about his life.
The family said, 'David was a veteran, small business owner, and software engineer. He had recently retired from the Clark County Treasurer's office in Nevada, having also worked for H&R Block and IGT.'
The statement continued, 'He was also well known for his time as a cast member on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. 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.'
As In Touch previously reported, David first appeared on season 4 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, where he introduced viewers to his Ukrainian girlfriend, Lana. David eventually proposed to Lana, but the relationship fizzled out before they walked down the aisle.
