The former Head of British Army Sir Mike Jackson left just £80,000 in will after already giving £250,000 to son and daughter.
Serving in the army for 43 years, Jackson is remembered as one of the most high profile generals since World War Two.
He lost his battle with prostate cancer on 15 October last year, at the age of 80.

Sir Mike left the value of his estates to his second wife Sarah Jackson, who he married in 1985.
Two of the late general’s three children, who were from his first marriage to Jennifer Savery were given a total of £250,000 before the will was written.
The will noted that £200,000 had already been given to son Mark Jackson, as reported by Need To Know.
The documents stated that £50,000 was also gifted to Amanda.
His youngest child Thomas Jackson was listed as an executor.
The former Head of the British Army’s sister Lynne was granted £10,000 in the will.
Sir Mike’s grandchildren are also entitled to £5,000 each, with Amanda being a mother of four.
The general requested to be buried.
He guided the British Army during the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Sheffield-born Jackson also served in the Balkans and Northern Ireland.
The documents stated: “The application has stated that the gross value of the estate in the United Kingdom amounts to £93,857 and the net value amounts to £80,219.
“My trustees will be aware that Mark has already received the sum of £200,000 as an advance and this is to be set against his share of my residuary estate.
