Manceaux as "sole guardian" of his estate. He also disclosed that his godchild, Marie-Ange
Lebedeff, born on 13 September 1946, was in actuality his daughter that he had fathered out of wedlock with a friend, Fréderique Lebedeff. Neither his daughter nor Manceaux would learn the contents of the will until after Poulenc’s death. The document also indicated to Manceaux to whom he wished to bequeath various items from his estate, the majority of which he left to her. He also pleaded with her to care for his daughter in the event of his death. In the will, Poulenc said that Manceaux was "like a second Raymonde" to him.

In July 1945, Poulenc wrote to Manceaux that he was delighted that she would be recording the sonata with the violinist Françoise Soulé, but no further trace of this recording appears to have survived. Soulé, another close friend of Manceaux's, would later marry Pierre Momméja. By the 1940s, Manceaux had become Poulenc's assistant, called upon to attend to various tasks on his behalf, often on short notice. Manceaux also became Poulenc's most trusted confidante and closest friend.

In spring 1954, Poulenc was reeling from news that his lover, Lucien
Roubert, had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Poulenc was also suffering from problems with his gall bladder during this time. Fearing that he possibly had cancer as well, Poulenc drafted a will on 2 June 1954 designating

113:. Manceaux was described by her friend Jacqueline Latarjet as a fine musician, a charming woman, but a victim of an excess of modesty who lacked confidence in herself despite her qualities. Bonafoux recalled her generosity and her gregariousness.
