Download ... Nothing to leave in your will "Download a temporary aquisition of fleeting fortune and fame. Nothing to Leave in your will." This lyric from Colonized Mind jumped out at me today. Hard to believe that he did not have a will. He obviously sees the importance of a will. I still think one will be found. Perhaps he left clues in his music. Perhaps the odd length of some of his songs and albums are clues. There was always a reason behind everything he did. [Edited 7/27/16 18:18pm] | |

It wasn't a will he was talking about. It was about dying broke after making lots of money, it's happened a lot, but it didn't happen to him. | |

Heirs contesting the wills with the Estate not settle plus he probaly did not want to talk about death and definitely do not think he thougt he was going. | |

Yes, you're correct. His will is in his music. Here it is:
Diamonds and Pearls: "If I gave u diamonds and pearls, would u be a happy boy or a girl? All I can do is just offer u my love." I.e., he offered them his love, because they're not getting any diamonds (his money) or pearls (his music).
FaceDown "It's in his will, I read it, he shot 2 kill, I said it. 4 those that know the number and don't call, F all y'all." (No one in his family gets anything.)
At the end of "2 Nigs United 4 West Compton", the last track on the Black Album, he says, "What the F kind of ending was that?". So he predicted that everyone would be shocked when he died.

[Edited 7/27/16 18:18pm] I think Prince still considered himself a young man (younger in age than he was) and just didn't draw one up. Sometimes when you're busy living life, things like that keep getting put off. | |

If rumor is true, maybe he knew he had a son and wouldn't need a will. | |
