Five years after her death, the final wishes of music superstar Aretha Franklin are still unsettled.
The Queen of Soul, who had four sons, did not have a formal, typewritten will in place, despite years of health problems and efforts to get one done. But under Michigan law, it's still possible to treat other documents — with scribbles, scratch-outs and hard-to-read passages — as her commands.Ted White II believes papers dated in 2010 should mainly control the estate, while Kecalf Franklin and Edward Franklin favor a 2014 document.
Legendary singer Aretha Franklin, revered as the Queen of Soul, has died. She was 76. Known for her powerful voice and hit records including " a Natural Woman," "Think" and her iconic version of Otis Redding's "Respect," Franklin's career spanned over a half-century.Months later, in spring 2019, the estate was turned upside down.
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.
