How do they know that Prince's will is not in that sealed

vault? The existence of the vault has been verified by his half-brother.

1. even if

it is I don't think it would be valid because it wasn't filed with the court.

It is crazy that he had all that money and assets and no will. My spouse and I were talking about this and he finally agreed that we need a will. I have been mentioning it for decades.

10. Most wills are not filed until the person dies

A statute of limitations does apply, but I doubt that the statute in Minnesota is less than a month.

He could have a will on file with a court already, but that won't be known until a death certificate has been issued. But I do wonder why none of his attorneys have spoken up. Surely they had him do some sort of estate planning.

4. I would think his attorney would step up.

It is most unusual for someone worth that much $ left no will.

5. I think if there were a will...

his attorney would have advised him to provide an unsigned copy to the Executor. That is what our attorney advised. He should have kept the signed will in the vault. However, he may not have provided the combination to the vault to anyone.

6. I believe the trust requested by his sister already opened the vault last week as they are now

legally responsible for guarding his music which is part of his estate
Also in interviews I have seen Prince mentioned how he didn't like to think of things like his own death
Speculation below
So he may have been opposed to a physical paper referring to after he departed
