But inheriting her mother's sizable estate hasn't brought much comfort to Melissa.
'It's no consolation for losing her mother so soon,' said the source.
Meanwhile, the world will never know what action killed the comedian after a routine surgery, because her heartbroken daughter told doctors NOT to perform an autopsy.
Joan died last month after a throat surgery left her brain dead.
Her daughter was left so despondent by her mother's sudden and unexpected passing that she specifically requested no autopsy be conducted, TMZ reports.

Yorkville Endoscopy, the clinic where Rivers underwent surgery, has since been deemed deficient in four major categories required for accreditation following an investigation by the New York State Health Department.

'They won't be able to take Medicare patients, and that's got to be at least half their clientele.'
'I don't know of any circumstance where the whole Medicare certification is pulled over one doctor doing one procedure,' said Waye.
'I'm quite surprised that Medicare has come down on Yorkville like this,' Waye said
