Lawyers Still Battling for Control over Prince’s Estate

Prince lawyers2Two lawyers who have been battling for control over Prince’s estate were both denied official roles last month by a judge. Entertainment lawyer L. Londell McMillan and political commentator Van Jones were both close advisers of Prince at different times in his life. The two have managed to ignite a family feud between the late singer’s six known heirs, including issues about the singer’s legacy, a memorial concert, and the lawyers’ conflicts of interest. Prince’s catalog becoming available for the first time on major digital music-streaming services evidences McMillan’s vision for the late singer’s estate.
