Prince Estate Battle Rages On as Judge Declines to Dismiss Lawsuit Against Heirs

Over eight years after the death of Prince, a lawsuit over control of half of the singer's estate is heading to court.

L. Londell McMillan and Charles Spicer Jr. previously sued four member of singer's family, including half-sister Sharon Nelson, over control of an LLC that owned 50 percent stake in the estate On Friday, a judge in Delaware — where the McMillan and Spicer lawsuit was filed — refused the heirs’ efforts to dismiss the lawsuit, presaging yet another legal battle over Prince’s estate; Prince died in April 2016 without a will, and his estate was divided up equally among his six siblings and half-siblings, two of whom havedied over the course of the seemingly never-ending legal fight. However, the lawsuit claims that Sharon Nelson regretted the terms and tried to seize hold of the LCC by amending the agreement to remove McMillan and Spicer as its managers.
