Aretha Franklin died leaving her estate in a mess

Aretha Franklin did not have a professional Will drawn up. Instead she wrote her own. Since her death 3 wills have been found and now the family are battling to determine which if any are valid.

'A handwritten Will found stuffed beneath a sofa cushion in Aretha Franklin’s Detroit home will be examined by a handwriting expert to prove its validity.

Franklin’s family had claimed when she died last year that the soul legend did not leave behind a will, but lawyers for her estate revealed in May that three wills have been unearthed since then.

Two written in 2010 and discovered in a locked cabinet declared that Franklin’s niece Sabrina Owens and son Theodore White II would be co-executors of her estate. But one written in 2014, which was found under a sofa cushion, saw the names of Owens and White scratched out, with Franklin apparently wanting her son Kecalf Franklin to serve as representative of her estate, which is speculated to be worth $80m.
