Legal Battle Ensues as Aretha Franklin's Sons Fight for Million-Dollar Estate
A jury trial is set to begin to resolve the dispute over the late Aretha Franklin's estate, which is valued at just under $6 million. Franklin died without a known will in 2018, but three handwritten wills were later discovered. The trial will determine which version of the will takes precedence, with one son arguing for a 2010 document and two others asserting that a 2014 version is their mother's primary will. The trial is expected to last less than a week and will involve testimony from witnesses, including Franklin's children and a handwriting expert.
