She also bequeathed £50,000 to her 60-year-old ex, to whom she had remained close after their divorce in 2000.
Former music industry worker Paola left £4,000 each to four charities, as well as £10,000 to a pal for looking after her pets.
Paola had called for assisted dying laws.
In a video released after her death last year at 53, she said: “Assisted dying is not about giving up.
“It’s about giving people the right to end their suffering on their own terms, with compassion and respect.”
She asked for her ashes to be scattered on Hampstead Heath, close to her North London home.
Canada-born Paola, who had breast and bowel cancer, died in the Swiss clinic last March.
