Probate judge not in a hurry to push through Prince’s estate.
As more people step forward to claim they are relatives of Prince, his half-siblings seek quick decisions, according to the Daily Mail in “New woman stakes her claim for slice of Prince’s $300million estate as she claims to be his half-sister, alleging the singer was actually the son of his mother’s ex-boyfriend.”
The judge overseeing the matter has different ideas about how quickly the case should proceed. He has declined to speed the process up and has declared that once he does decide on a framework to determine the heirs, he might send that decision to a higher court for review before implementing the plan.
To complicate matters further, another woman is now claiming she is Prince’s half-sister. She claims her father is also really Prince’s father. Prince’s mother was in a previous relationship with the man who is the father of one of Prince’s other half-siblings. If her claim is correct, then some of the other supposed half-siblings would not be related to Prince at all.
