There are now two individuals claiming a right to Charles Manson’s estate. A few days ago, TMZ reported that Manson’s pen pal, who preferred to remain anonymous, was in possession of a handwritten and typed will that named him the sole beneficiary to all of Manson’s worldly possessions. Contrary to the TMZ story, the New York Daily News recently reported that Ben Gureki, one of Manson’s friends, delivered a will to Matthew Roberts naming Roberts the sole beneficiary of Manson’s estate. Roberts’s mother told him in 1998 that Manson was his father. Gureki claimed that he and Roberts are going to take care of the situation: “Matthew and I will be there next week in person. Charlie will be given a headstone, a proper burial where people will be able to grieve, or deface it as they see fit.”
