They said that Bernice, along with all other heirs, signed their rights concerning these items over to the estate some time ago. Therefore with a vote of 2 - 1 the brothers can legally do as they please as far as selling these items, with the proceeds being split amongst the 3 remaining siblings.

This is very very sad, I'd think they'd want those items on display at the King Center or a museum.
