Five years after her death, the final wishes of music superstar Aretha Franklin are still unsettled. A trial will determine which of two handwritten wills, including one found in couch cushions, will guide how her estate is handled.
are still unsettled. An unusual trial begins next Monday to determine which of two handwritten wills, including one found in couch cushions, will guide how her estate is handled.
“Does it surprise me that someone passed away before they had their ducks in a row? The answer is never,” said Pat Simasko, who specializes in wills and estates and teaches elder law at Michigan State University College of Law. There are differences between the documents, though they both seem to indicate the sons would share income from music and copyrights. The older will lists White and Owens as co-executors and says Kecalf and Edward Franklin “must take business classes and get a certificate or a degree” to benefit from the estate.
But White's attorney, Kurt Olson, said the 2010 will was notarized and signed, while the later version “is merely a draft.” For five years, Aretha Franklin's estate has been handled at different times by three executors. Owens quit in 2020, citing a "rift" among the sons.
