James Gandolfini leaves bulk of $70M estate to his two children

It pays to be part of Tony Soprano's real-life "family."

James Gandolfini left millions of dollars to relatives and friends — including his personal secretary and assistant — in his will, which was quietly filed in Manhattan Surrogate's Court yesterday.

DEAR DAD: James Gandolfini's will directs generous bequests to son Michael (center), wife Deborah Lin (right) and baby daughter Liliana.

But the biggest chunk of the late "Sopranos" star's bada-ching will go to his two kids — "beloved'' son Michael, 13, and daughter Liliana Ruth, 8 months — as well as his wife, Deborah Lin, and his two sisters.

The star of the HBO mob hit was estimated to be worth up to $70 million when he died at age 51 on June 16.

Michael — who found his father's body in the bathroom of their Rome hotel suite — appears to get the bulk of the estate through a trust set aside for him until he turns 21.

And through the trust, he will also get first dibs to buy his dad's Greenwich Street condo in the West Village. The home comes with a precious parking space, the document notes.

Michael also automatically gets all of his dad's clothing and jewelry, according to the court papers.

James Gandolfini Will

The teen and his little half-sister will share their father's estate in Italy, too. They'll split it 50-50 when Liliana turns 25, according to the will.

But Dad made one special request of his children from beyond the grave: "It is my hope and desire that they will continue to own said property and keep it in our family for as long as possible,'' he states in the 17-page document, which he signed last Dec. 19.

Gandolfini's other properties can be sold, the will says, although it's unclear who exactly would get the dough if that occurs.

At the time of his death, Gandolfini also owned a $1.1 million home in Califon, NJ, and a $7 million, 3,000-square-foot duplex penthouse at the Fairchild Building on Vestry Street in Tribeca. Those properties were not specifically mentioned in the will.
