Prince’s Heirs Go to Court in Latest Round of Infighting Over Estate

In the latest legal battle over Prince’s estate, four of the artist’s heirs are facing a lawsuit from two former business associates, L. Londell McMillan and Charles Spicer. The lawsuit, filed in Delaware court, revolves around control of Prince Legacy LLC, one of the holding companies managing Prince’s $156 million estate. 

The plaintiffs allege that the family members are attempting to exclude them in violation of a prior agreement, posing a threat to the preservation of Prince’s legacy. The defendants, including Prince’s half-sisters and niece, are accused of lacking business and management experience, potentially causing harm to the company’s goodwill and revenue streams.

 The legal disputes over Prince’s estate have been ongoing since his death in 2016, further complicated by the absence of a will.
