Big Fight Looms Over Pryor’s Estate

PryorAccording to report on ContactMusic.com entitled Pryor’s Kids Fight Widow Over Last Will and Testament (Oct. 27, 2006), Richard Pryor’s

children are ganging up on his widow Jennifer in a bid to get what they think is rightfully theirs. * * * Elizabeth Pryor * * * [his] six children – has filed suit against Jennifer, accusing her of forging his last will and testament. Elizabeth is hoping to have a will her father signed shortly before his death, when he was allegedly debilitated by multiple sclerosis, ruled illegal and an earlier one, in which he split his fortune between his kids, reinstated. In the 65-year-old comic’s final will, he left the bulk of his estate to his widow, who nursed him through his final years as multiple sclerosis slowly robbed him of his life.

Special thanks to Neil E. Hendershot of the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania law firm of Goldberg Katzman, P.C., who also authors the PA Elder, Estate & Fiduciary Law Blog, for bringing this development to my attention.
