Frank Fritz’s dad contests ‘American Pickers’ star’s will

The validity of late “American Pickers” star Frank Fritz’s will is being challenged by his father, William Fritz. Frank, who died from complications of a stroke in September, allegedly had nearly $6 million to his name in a sealed estate established by caretakers and companions shortly after the reality star was placed under a guardianship in 2022, according to the Des Moines Register.

Questions remained whether Frank was in sufficient health to sign off on a will when it was established. He was hospitalized after suffering a stroke in July 2022, and was then allegedly appointed a guardianship in August. The guardianship case was sealed, a public care plan was released and indicated that Frank did not have a living will, but two years later, he was listed as having a will in his final guardianship report.
