Judge: Appeals holding up Prince estate determination
(AP) — The Minnesota judge overseeing Prince's estate will wait for appeals to be exhausted before making a final determination on who will inherit a fortune that could be worth around $200 million, he said at a hearing Thursday.
Prince left no known will when he died in April of a painkiller overdose.
Since he wasn't married and had no surviving children or parents, his siblings stand to inherit equal shares of his estate under Minnesota law.
The court was scheduled to reconvene in the afternoon regarding whether Eide should appoint an individual as a "co-personal representative," or co-executor, to act in part as a go-between Prince's siblings and Comerica.
