Aretha Franklin Will Settled

This week the sons of Aretha Franklin went to court to fight over which will would be deemed valid, the one that was sealed vs the one found stuffed in a couch cushion [click here if you missed that]. 

The ruling has been made...

From The Daily Mail 

A jury has found that a document handwritten by Aretha Franklin and found stuffed in her couch after her 2018 death is a valid will in her home state Michigan.

Two handwritten wills, one written in 2010 and another in 2014, became the center of a years-long battle over Franklin's $6million estate turning her sons against one another.

The decision comes as a win for Franklin's sons Kecalf and Edward who argued that the papers found in the couch dated 2014 should override a 2010 will.

The 2010 will was discovered at the same time in a locked cabinet - her other son, Ted White II, aka Teddy Richards, believes it to be the rightful will.

The main difference between the two documents is who Franklin designated as her executors - White and Franklin's niece in the 2010 document and Kecalf and Edward in the 2014 one.

The jury is slated to hear closing arguments at the brief trial later Tuesday.
