Aretha Franklin, quite possibly one of the most famous singers in musical history, passed away last year at the age of 76. It was widely assumed that she died without leaving a will, but that is no longer true!
Three unofficial wills were found in a locked cabinet and under the couch cushions of the late singer’s estate, almost nine months after her passing. This is a complicated legal matter, and Celebuzz! sat down with lawyer and legal expert Vivian Lee Thoreen to discuss what this mean’s for the legacy of the Queen of Soul.
Could the fight over Franklin’s estate ruin what is left of this American icon?
