- His sister, Tyka Nelson, requested a court to appoint a “special administrator” over his estate
- She also requested that his assets be divided among her and their half siblings
A sister of singer Prince revealed that the late artist, who passed away on April 21, did not leave any last will and testament.
Tyka Nelson, the younger sister of the iconic singer who was Prince Roger Nelson in real life, filed paperworks with the state court in Minnesota requesting to appoint a “special administrator” over Prince’s estate as the singer did not have a will.
Tyka said that her brother was “paranoid” over signing legal documents after he was “screwed over” contracts as a young star.
“I do not know of the existence of a will and have no reason to believe that the decedent executed testamentary documents in any form,” Tyka claimed in court documents obtained by TMZ.
Estimates of the Prince’s estate range from $ 150 million to $ 800 million but BBC earlier verified that the late singer had at least $ 27 million worth of property.
Tyka is the only surviving full sibling of the late singer and his closest living relative. Both their parents John L. Nelson and Mattie Shaw have both passed away.
In her petition, Tyka listed their half siblings John, Norrine, Sharon, Alfred, and Omarr as beneficiaries to the fortune left by the legendary singer.
John, Norrine, and Sharon are half siblings from their father’s side while Alfred and Omarr are their half siblings from their mother’s side.
Another half sibling, Lorna has already passed away as well in 2006.
Tyka requested that Bremer Trust, a corporate trust company based in Minnesota, be granted the role of administrator; citing the fact that the late singer, who is a native of Minneapolis, had transacted business with the bank over the years.
The administrator will take charge of accounting for all of the late singer’s assets, pay for any debts incurred, and pay the necessary taxes before dividing the inheritance.
