Nicholas Brendon wanted everything to go to his brother and nothing to go to his ex … this according to a handwritten will submitted to court by his brother.

Documents were filed Monday by Nicholas’ brother, Kelton Schultz, seeking to administer the probate estate pursuant to the terms of a handwritten will.

The docs note Nicholas didn’t have a spouse or children — and there’s no estimate for what the estate is worth at this time.

Along with Kelton, three other people are listed as potential beneficiaries of the estate … Nichola’ parents, Robert and Kathleen, and Nicholas’ ex-girlfriend Sarah Marker.

However, a handwritten note is attached to the filing as well which reads simply, “My will. Sarah gets nothing kel gets everything. He can figure it out.”

As you know … Nicholas passed away back in March of cardiovascular disease. Acute pneumonia and a previous heart attack were listed as contributing factors in his death.

Nicholas was a series regular on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” … playing Xander Harris on all 7 seasons of the hit show.
