Mandela's ex-wife, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, was not mentioned in the will. The couple divorced in 1996.
The home in Houghton, Johannesburg where Mandela died on December 5, will be used by the family of his deceased son Makgatho.
“It is my wish that it should also serve as a place of gathering of the Mandela and Machel family in order to maintain its unity long after death,” Mandela wrote.
