  1. It's NOT THEIR MONEY!!!! SHE MADE THAT COIN!!! SHE OWES THEM NOTHING!!!!!! NOTHING!!!!! Get off her huge breasts!!! She owes them not one thin dime!

  2. People Get On My Nerves, Share It And Move T. F. On🤨🤦

  3. Financial planning is important! Everyone should have one in place

  4. To me it is so very DISGUSTING when family members fight over money and possessions after the death of a loved one.

  5. When it comes to settling an estate, family will F you faster than a stranger.

    Been there

  6. Aretha was such a powerhouse. Everybody around her should be very thankful for being in her presence.🙏 money is now stronger than family in peoples lives in tears families apart😢

  7. Logic says yes, 2014 decisions should supersede decisions made two years before. – common sense! A judge should not decide for her – even if they feel it is wrong or unjust.

  8. Celebs really hold off on having a will. I personally think It's like their own little personal insurance. If I don't have a will, then no one gets anything so no one is in a hurry to knock me off (spouses, ungrateful siblings or kids etc) AND it's a smart way to vet out who's for you FOR REAL.

  9. Shameful that her sons made a private matter public because of their lack of maturity.

  10. Sad the family could not work this out without a legal battle.

  11. Dysfunctional mentality is a generational curse. Share equally brothers.

  12. This is rife with greed! Handwritten notes apparently found all over constitute this woman’s will lol somebody had these papers all this time and just made them appear or have doctored them somewhere

  13. How Petty . Share equal all her sons . FFS

  14. They could of settled this

  15. This is so ghetto. Those kids are gonna have that money spent and house tore up and boarded up in no time. Sad.

  16. Ah the good auld where there's a will there's a relative 😨

  17. The moronic people of Michigan strike again because that is where everyone keeps important papers is wadded up in the couch.

  18. FAMILY GOING TO COURT OVER MONEY MAKE THERE MOM LEGACY go down LIKE THAT
    CLOWNS 🤡 FOR KIDS

  19. Lazy and greedy sons who can’t eat from their own sweats. Why should families fight over property they never worked for?

  20. Even Big Mike was super excited😅

  21. I guess family reunions won't be the same after this.💰💰💰💰💰🤔

  22. its a non-notarized piece of paper, no witnesses or legal council or anything – sets a scary prescient for future cases, you could basically just make something on paper. – oh yeah, sorry Mom and Dad left me everything, here is a crumpled up napkin I found that says so. lol….

  23. True test of family. Unfortunately most will fail, dismally.

  24. None of them earned that money.

  25. 🫶🏽🖤rip to a leagan but I hope the family can see what’s fair and also not all about the money

  26. Everyone wants financial success to give their kids "what I never had." But this is what it turns those kids into.

  27. Money separates the family, now they are no longer brothers

  28. Money hungry trash family members

  29. A mega star doesn't have a will drawn up by a lawyer? Unbelievable.

  30. Lawyers win. Plenty to go around. Greed is pathetic

  31. wow a hand written note with no lawyer present or witness.

  32. Why people don’t get their house in order before death is shocking!

  33. Found in her couch? Lol ok Aretha 😂

  34. It's sad how money divides family.

  35. As a Funeral Director I can attest that it's all about money. Most of the time people don't even wait for the body to get cold and they're already fighting.
