Well, this throws a wrench in the gears....what is everybody thinking? Duane's granddaughter is claiming heirship but will not take a blood test? An 11 year old girl is claiming heirship and somehow her aunt had a "personal" relationship with Prince? Is the 11 year old the same girl as Duane's granddaughter? So Prince may have slept with his niece and produced a daughter??? Please clarify for me, because that sounds way too fucked up.

No. The 11 year old is Duane's granddaughter through Duane's deceased son. Duane also has a daughter, who is still living. The granddaughter and daugther would split Duane's share of the inheritance. However, according the the Star Tribune article, the girl’s mother and her purported relationship to Prince are of a “personal nature.” The girl's mother is not blood related to Prince.

I don't, really. Anecdotally, I've had bartenders serve me wine when I was 16, without checking my ID (and the law when I was 16 was that you had to be 21 to drink), and I sure as hell looked much younger than my peers, being about 5'1", 110 lb & dressed in clothes picked out by my mother. It's absolutely attitude and if you think Prince couldn't give off the air of someone much older?

On one hand, Kansas had super strict drinking laws. OTOH, Kansas didn't require peo...until 1985.

In the 1970s, you could be 18 and legally drink in Kansas. It could literally come down to the liquor content of the wine.

I'd go for conman. But also, I don't think that woman is swimming in money or even solvent, so she'd sell her story for a fraction of that if she had cash flow problems, even it were completely true.

I also wondered why she wouldn't have named a father but I think welfare reform only required to you to name a father after 1996.

yeahthat

So so many holes which make no sense. I mean, unless she has witnesses or other evidence (receipts?) placing them at the bar & the hotel, it falls apart before a DNA test. How did they not get laughed out of court?

If it were MN or NYC otoh, maybe at first glance...Dude DID get around, it was the 1970s (Roe v. Wade was a thing, the pill was a thing, and AIDS wasn't on most people's radar, so condom usage wasn't emphasized as much...)

It would be cosmically funny and sad that after a lifetime of getting around, no oopses and really wanting children, they found direct descendants of Prince after he died.

The Associated Press also reported on the judge sealing the affidavits from potential heirs, and lawyers for some of the potential heirs are asking the judge to close next week's hearing.

So now the article has been updated to read that the girl's aunt had some sort of relationship with Prince, which is causing my imagnation to run wild. Which aunt? Brianna? Or the girl's mother's sister? If it's the later, what does that have to do with this probate case? It does not go into detail about the nature of the relationship.

This is about the most arrogant statement I've ever heard from a member of the media (and I've heard a lot):

“In this case in particular, it is hard to see how the privacy interests of individuals who have voluntarily inserted themselves into the probate proceeding outweigh the public’s right to know how the courts are handling the large estate of Minnesota’s most famous celebrity,” Walker said. “Media organizations here and across the country are watching this case carefully and are prepared to intervene if the access rights of the press or the public are infringed.”

BTW, did anyone else notice that the judge's order to seal the "affidavits of heirship" did not include 7 people from Alabama, who claim to be descendents of the sister of Prince's great-grandfather??? (They're all on the same form, so I'm guessing these are the ones collected by that group in New Orleans.)

Was the deceased married? Yes - Spouse receives the estate. No - Next question.

Did the deceased have offspring (blood or adopted)? Yes - Surviving kids and grandkids of non surviving kids (if any) share the estate. No - Next question.

Are there surving parents of the deceased (blood or adoptive)? Yes - surving parent(s) share the estate. No - Next question.

Does the deceased have siblings (blood or adopted)? Yes - Surviving siblings and kids of non surviving siblings (if any) share the estate.

I dont know if they stop there or then move on to aunts and uncles etc. At some point the State gets the lot. I also dont know what would happen if a sibling/offspring was dead but their spouse was alive and they had no kids. Would the spouse be an heir? Possibly not...

I work in insurance, and with us if there is no beneficiary the order they search for is the same, spouse, children, siblings, estate. I do not work in claims so I am not sure how they handle it from there but we don't go as far as aunts/uncles/cousins. Now obvioulsy insurance is different than a state handeling appointing estate etc.

Talking about insurance.... You are comparing apples and oranges - completely different subject. Insurance is contractual, even if no specific beneficiary is named. Which means: Insurance is usually a nonprobate asset - unless someone would specifically make their estate the beneficiary - which sometimes is done, like for example, if there are minor children. If no specific beneficiaries are named in the insurance contract, insurance contracts have a "default" listed order that is used to determine the beneficiaries.

In Prince's estate case, there does not seem to be a Will - which means the beneficiaries will be determined by Minnesota probate law - probate law has its own listed order to determine the beneficiaries.

If you don't have a Will drawn up, your respective state has a default one for you in its probate laws.

I need you guys to reassure me that that clown in jail is not Prince's son. I have been "obsessing" over it since it first came out. I admit, I am a bit gullible at times and I get worked up over little stuff, but this has really been bothering me. I know we probably won't find out for a while, but I need someone to talk me down. The thought of Prince's songs and PP studio going to that person makes me ill. sad

There is nothing, AFAIK, that places Prince & that dude's mom in the same state, let alone the same room at the time she alleges.
