Gary Coleman secretly took out a restraining order against his ex-wife a few months before he died. The "Diff'rent Strokes" actor, who passed away last month after suffering a brain hemorrhage, claimed in the documents that Shannon Price had moved back into his Utah home against his wishes while he was in hospital.
In the documents, which were filed under "John Doe Vs. Jane Doe", the actor alleged Shannon "has shown a tendency to damage, destroy and steal my property and I believe she will continue to do so in my absence and while she is trespassing in my home."
However, though the order was granted on February 19, Gary never served it on his former spouse, who has said they were on the verge of remarrying before his death. The actor's former agent Robert Malcolm told Radar Online, "The dynamics of their relationship were very unhealthy."

Gary Coleman did not want to be taken off life support if he was ever in that position, new documents have revealed. The "Diff'rent Strokes" actor, who died last month when he fell into a coma and ex-wife Shannon Price decided to switch off the machine keeping him alive, signed a paper in 2006 stating he wanted his life prolonged as long as possible, according to documents obtained by TMZ.
Under the heading "Instructions for Health Care", Gary checked the box titled "Choice to Prolong Life" which states, "I want my life to be prolonged as long as possible within the limits of generally accepted health care standards." The other option, "Choice Not to Prolong Life", was left unchecked.
As well as stating in documents he wanted to prolong his life, two of the actor's closest friends claim they pleaded with Shannon not to turn off his life support. His agent...

Gary Coleman left all his assets to a mystery woman, a third will filed yesterday (11.06.10) states.
The ‘Diff’rent Strokes’ actor – who died aged 42 after suffering a brain haemorrhage last month – named Anna Gray as executor of his estate and bequeathed all his assets to her in the 23-page document, which is dated February 3 2005.
Anna – who has been reported as being the CEO of his corporation – filed the will in Utah yesterday, days after the actor’s ex-wife Shannon Price submitted a handwritten 2007 document which left everything to her, and soon after his former manager Dion Mial handed in a 1999 will, which named him as executor of the late star’s estate.
Gary’s agent Robert Malcolm described Anna as his client’s most trusted friend and says she even lived with him – in separate bedrooms – before he met Shannon and relocated to Utah.

Gary Coleman's third will has emerged and it reveals that the late actor leaves everything to a mystery woman, not his ex-wife Shannon Price or his estranged parents, Willie Coleman and Edmonia Sue. The newly-discovered will, obtained by Et, names Anna Gray, as the one who may stand to inherit everything.
The new will, which is 23 pages long and was executed on February 3, 2005, was filed on Friday afternoon, June 11 in Utah. Gary's agent, Robert Malcolm, told the site that Anna was Gary's most trusted friend. Within a few months after Gary and Anna met in 1997, the two decided to live together as friends in separate bedrooms in the actor's Los Angeles home.
Anna had helped Gary with his corporation and become his CEO. She later moved with the "Diff'rent Strokes" star after he relocated to Utah in 2005 and met Shannon. However, "when Shannon moved in, the relationship got difficult...

A mystery woman has joined the battle for tragic actor Gary Coleman's fortune - the star's agent has revealed an old friend stands to inherit everything.
In a will executed in February, 2005 and filed in Utah on Friday, Coleman left everything to a woman called Anna Gray - and the actor's agent, Robert Malcolm, is promoting her as the sole beneficiary of his client's estate, not the Diff'rent Strokes star's ex-wife Shannon Price, who isn't mentioned in the newly-discovered will.
Price has filed a handwritten addendum in court in an effort to get her share of Coleman's estate and the actor's TV brother Todd Bridges and a former manager both claim they have directives from the former child star too.
But Malcolm insists Gray might be the only person who legitimately has a claim to his late client's fortune.
The agent tells U.S. news show Entertainment Tonight that Gray was Coleman's most trusted friend.
Gray apparently helped the actor set up a corporation while she was living with him in Los Angeles - and he made her the CEO.
The mystery woman moved to Utah with Coleman but their relationship soured when he fell for Price.
Malcolm says, "When Shannon moved in, the relationship got difficult because Shannon didn't like the fact that there was somebody else in his (Coleman's) life, and, of course, he sided with her (Shannon), and Anna was asked to leave."
Coleman died last month after suffering a brain haemorrhage.

As if two sole beneficiaries weren't enough, how about a third? Another Gary Coleman will has surfaced, this one purportedly drawn up in 2005, in which the actor leaves everything to an Anna Gray, whose name hadn't even come up as an important person in the actor's life until now. Coleman's agent, Robert Malcolm, told Entertainment Tonight, which first obtained the will, that Gray was a dear friend of the Diff'rent Strokes star who at one point had her own bedroom in Coleman's Los Angeles home and then moved to Utah when he met future wife Shannon Price. And you can imagine how much Price liked that. "When Shannon moved in, the relationship got difficult because Shannon...
