The Ongoing Dispute Over Whitney Houston’s $20 Million Estate

By Gerry W. Beyer

Brown and houstonI have previously discussed the legal battle over the estates of Whitney Houston and her daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown.  The current dispute over the estate is far from being settled.  With such a large estate and the potential for years of royalties there are going to be many different people staking a claim for a piece of the estate.  Some of the major claimants in this legal battle include Bobbi Kristina Brown’s father Bobby Brown, the Houston family, and Nick Gordon.  Although Whitney Houston had a will, the sheer size of the estate will guarantee that litigation over the estate is going to be last for many years.
