The handwritten document found hidden in Aretha Franklin’s sofa has been deemed a valid will by a Michigan jury
Two of Aretha Franklin’s sons attended a hearing in the US on Tuesday amid an ongoing inheritance battle linked to their late mother’s estate.As part of the two-day trial, attorneys for two of Franklin's sons claimed their half-brother, Ted White, wanted to "disinherit" them.
A handwritten document dating back to 2010, which was left in a locked cabinet, was originally recognised as the the late singer’s formal will after her death. Ted White II, 60, believes the original 2010 version should be recognised as his mother’s official will, whereas Kecalf Franklin, 53, believes it should be the 2014 version.'On the road to recovery': Madonna issues first message since hospital stay with bacterial infection“With all the time I spent working with her administratively...
