A handwritten will found in a couch in Aretha Franklin‘s home following her death in 2018 was ruled valid by a Michigan Jury, according to the Associated Press.

At the time of her death, Aretha was unmarried and didn’t have a legal will and it caused a heated dispute between family members.

The document that triggered the dispute was dated 2014 and was found in May 2019 under a cushion by her niece Sabrina Owens.

A document allegedly containing the late singer’s last wishes was found earlier the same year in a cabinet but was dated 2010. The second document would be ruled valid. It was noted that neither of the documents were prepared by a lawyer.

Michigan law states that documents with scribbles, scratch-outs and hard-to-read passages, are able to be treated as valid.

According to AP, the 2014 document favors two of her four sons as managers of her estate: Kecalf Franklin and Edward Franklin. It also left her Bloomfield Hills house to Kecalf and his children. The siblings will share income from the Queen of Soul’s music and copywrites.

The absence of a will had turned three of her four sons against each other. Her oldest son, Clarence, has special needs and lives in an assisted living facility, and was not involved in the estate dispute.

Ted White Jr, her third youngest son, who played guitar during the singer’s performances, claimed that the 2010 document that was found in a locked cabinet should be favored over the one found in a couch.

The legendary singer’s estate, which was once valued at around $80 Million dollars after a six-decade career in music, is reportedly now worth only $4 Million dollars.

According to AP, Aretha’s last estate manager, Reginald Turner, produced accounting documents claiming the estate had an income of $3.9 million in the last fiscal year, with a similar amount of spending, including around $900,000 in legal fees. The assets stated by Turner consisted of cash and real estate.

Her creative works and intellectual property were undervalued at $1 figure. It was also noted that the estate paid more than $8 million dollars to the IRS due to unpaid debts.

Aretha died in 2018 at the age of 76 due to pancreatic cancer.
