Barrie left the bulk of his estate to his secretary [[Lady Cynthia Asquith]], but excluding the rights to all [[Peter Pan]] works (which included ''[[The Little White Bird]]'', ''[[Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens]]'', the play ''[[Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up]]'' and the novel ''Peter and Wendy''), whose copyright he had previously given to [[Great Ormond Street Hospital]] in London. The surviving Llewelyn Davies boys received legacies, and he made provisions for his former wife Mary Ansell to receive an annuity during her lifetime.<ref name="Birkin" />

His will also left £500 to the Bower Free Church in [[Caithness]] to mark the memory of Rev James Winter who was to have married Barrie's sister in June 1892 but was killed in a fall from his horse in May 1892. Barrie had several connections to the Free Church of Scotland, including his maternal uncle Rev David Ogilvy (1822–1904), who was minister of Dalziel Church in [[Motherwell]].<ref>Ewing, William ''Annals of the Free Church''; James Winter</ref> James and his brother William Winter (also a Free Church minister) were both born in [[Cortachy]] the sons of Rev William Winter. Cortachy is just west of [[Kirriemuir]] and the Winters seem closely connected to the Ogilvy family.<ref>Ewing, William ''Annals of the Free Church''; William Winter</ref>
