  • Aretha Franklin Left An Estimated $80 Million Dollar Estate With No Will…

    Aug, 23 2018 | Written by ATLien

    Aretha Franklin died last week from advanced pancreatic cancer, but she reportedly left behind a whole lot of family drama.

    The Queen of Soul made perfect music. She had a perfect voice. But she apparently made one mistake… she didn’t have a will or a trust!

    Franklin left behind an estate worth around $80 million dollars and that means there are at least $80 million reasons for her family members to act a fool.

    Details below…

    When the legendary singer died, she did not have a will or trust.

    According to CNN, Franklin’s four sons have filed a document listing themselves as interested parties.

    Franklin’s lawyer, Los Angeles attorney Don Wilson, represented her in entertainment matters for nearly three decades, and he recently told the paper that he constantly asked her to do a trust, but she never got around to it.

    I was after her for a number of years to do a trust.

    It would have expedited things and kept them out of probate and kept things private.

    Wilson is Franklin’s attorney in copyright matters, song publishing and record deals, and will be consulted on estate planning purposes. He said while he doesn’t have a dollar figure on the value of her assets, the lack of a will means the finances will become public in Oakland County Probate Court.

    “I just hope (Franklin’s estate) doesn’t end up getting so hotly contested,” Wilson said. “Any time they don’t leave a trust or will, there always ends up being a fight.”

    Franklin hasn’t even been buried yet and the family is already feuding.

    In addition to her sons’ filing, Franklin’s niece has asked the court to appoint her as a personal representative of the estate.

    Franklin’s funeral will be held on August 31 in Detroit, with the service for family and friends planned for 10 a.m. ET the same day. Public viewings will be held August 28 and 29 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit.

    It said under Michigan law, if an unmarried person dies without a will, his or her assets are divided equally among any children.

    “Under Michigan law, they should split the multimillion-dollar estate.

    However, because Aretha Franklin didn’t have any real planning for this situation they might end up missing out on a lot of her fortune if creditors and or lawyers making claims get involved.”

    In comparison, Prince also decided to not create a will for his fortune and his assets are still being discussed in court.

    Are your surprised that Aretha Franklin died without a will or trust?

        Simon Guobadia has filed a motion to dismiss the f Simon Guobadia has filed a motion to dismiss the federal defamation lawsuit he previously brought against his ex-wife, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams.

The lawsuit, originally filed in November 2024, stemmed from Instagram posts made by Williams in July 2024 that Guobadia claimed falsely implied he suffered from erectile dysfunction. According to court filings, Guobadia alleged the posts were directed at him and caused reputational harm, emotional distress, and damage to his professional standing amid their very public divorce.

Court records show that on Friday, January 23, 2025, Guobadia filed a Motion to Dismiss the case in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. No ruling has been issued at this time, and the matter remains pending.

Guobadia and Williams married in November 2022 and filed for divorce in February 2024. Their split has continued to play out publicly through court filings and social media, drawing widespread attention.

Kenya Moore is still in eviction court, the Hair Spa isn’t generating business, and the questions are stacking up.

No eviction yet, but also no clear exit plan.  So why hold on so hard?

Is this about a potential Bravo return?
Or is it just cutting losses vs. storyline protection?

So when folks said it looked like a content creation space… were they really “haters,” or just early? 🤔

Receipts matter. Courts matter. Words matter.

How do you ask the court to seal divorce records while continuing to talk about the divorce publicly?

This clip breaks down why Todd Tucker’s motion to keep the case open may be a legal strategy, not shade — and how public pressure often leads to faster settlements.

Receipts > rumors.
