Aretha Franklin left behind two handwritten wills when she died in 2018. Now, as her sons duel over which is correct, the case heads to trial.
Jennifer Hudson was hand-picked by the Queen of Soul to star in her bio-pic, and “Respect” marks the culmination of a 15-year long journey.
“Two inconsistent wills cannot both be admitted to probate. In such cases the most recent will revokes the previous will,” Charles McKelvie, a lawyer for Kecalf Franklin, wrote in a court filing in favor of the 2014 document.But White’s attorney, Kurt Olson, told AP that the 2010 will was notarized and signed, while the later version “is merely a draft.”
Aretha Franklin, the preacher’s daughter who became the “Queen of Soul” and forged the template of the larger-than-life pop diva with her exuberant, gospel-rooted singing, has died.
