Prince’s heirs are growing concerned that they will be left with nothing once the estate is finally settled. Comerica is currently handling the estate’s disposition and charges $125,000 per month for their services. Comerica has also hired a law firm, Fredrikson & Byron, P.A., to advise on tax issues, coordinate with accountants, and to represent the estate in court. In the month of November alone, the law firm’s bill was in excess of $440,000 in expenses and fees. With these incredibly high costs, over $600,000 in some months, Prince’s heirs and beneficiaries are worried that the estate will be drained by the time any assets are distributed. Comerica has been diligent in their record-keeping though; the company has itemized the necessary expenses in a 600-page document that details how they are spending the money in Prince’s $250 million estate.
