Prince's siblings already fighting barely a week after his death

8. We don't yet know whether he had a will

He was married and divorced twice. If, consistent with his reported business sophistication, there were pre-nups involved in those marriages, then it strikes me as highly unlikely that he would not have maintained a will.

The initial filing in this case - which makes perfect sense - was made by his full sister to request appointment of an administrator, because the business still needs to run in the meantime. Her filing was made on the basis that no will has been found. That does not necessarily mean there is "no will", but merely that she is not aware of one.

For all we know, the Jehovah's Witnesses might come up with one before long.

The most important thing to remember about wills is that where there is a will, you want to be in it. What we really need to make this thing complete would be for someone to come forward claiming to be either his unacknowledged child, or the child of one of his deceased half siblings. When that happens, get the popcorn.
