Prince Died Without A Will, According To Court Documents

New York Times, Prince Died Without a Will, According to Court Documents:

Prince died without a will, according to court documents filed by his sister, which may cause complications for his financial estate and musical legacy.

In probate documents filed on Tuesday with the court in Carver County, Minn., Tyka Nelson, 55, Prince’s sister, said that her brother died without a spouse, children or surviving parents, and that “I do not know of the existence of a will.” ...

In addition to Ms. Nelson, the document lists five half-siblings of Prince as interested parties: his half-brothers John Nelson, Alfred Jackson and Omar Baker, and his half-sisters Norrine and Sharon Nelson. According to Minnesota law, surviving half-siblings are treated the same as full siblings. ..

No estimate was listed for the financial value of Prince’s estate in the probate documents, and a publicist representing that singer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The filing was first reported by TMZ.
