My point is that if the right entity paid the family $200 million (or whatever appropriate amount) for the place and preserved and protected its legacy, that could be win/win/win given the fact that the various heirs seem to have different views about what should be done with it. There needs to be a clear direction for the future and that is never going to happen with so many voices. If they cannot agree, it is possible that a judge forces it to be sold and the proceeds split like what is done in a divorce with real estate. I'd rather Prince's intentions be honored as best as possible. And not sell his dream to the highest bidder. If it means appeasing a few family members who want to make a record or 2 then so be it (or don't), the market will handle that. PP will be no worse for wear. Now if it's about various family members trying to control the contents of the vault that's a whole other conversation. You keep saying heirs, and I personally am not trusting what you mean by heir, do you care to explain? When I say heir I mean whoever the 6-8 legal heirs end up being as determined by the court. It could work if the 6-8 people can agree and direct the future of PP with a unified voice. If not, then maybe it would be best if someone else purchased it from the heirs and is able to move forward efficiently with preserving it and opening it to the public. | |

No group of people go around unanimously agreeing on everything. Predicting doom because there is a difference of opinion for the moment seems short sighted. Instantly handing it over to put others grandchildren through college, before the family can have time to figure it out makes me leery. | |

Pure speculation, but perhaps part of this weekend's memorial events is also business. Putting together an investor group?
The family held a service the day Prince was cremated. Close friends and family came in. Others have had their own memorial tributes. It has all been done, but this week the judge ruled on heirs and property sales. Now people are coming into Chanhassen... tonight they meet at PP.
A syndicate type of arrangement. It might protect the main proprties and provide a framework for safe-guarding the art. Family would hold majority interest with others providing working capital. "Hold on to your souls y'all. We got a long way to go. Thank you! We love y'all!" | |

I just saw the clip where it was mentioned about the family using PP to record their own albums. First, it was the reporter who said it, secondly the reporter said it was the cousin who said it. Since we did not see exactly what the cousin said we have no idea what context he said it in and mainly he is not one of the heirs making desicions, so the line that the heirs are saying this is incorrect to begin with. This how things get seriously miscommunicated around here. | |

I mean was being critical of the media since when does the media accept attacks on their coverage. | |

It's best to take what you get from random interviews with a grain of salt. Anyone can, in essence, say anything they want to. It might be 100%, 50%, or sometimes completely fabricated to get the public talking. Even when it comes to well meaning family. It might be premature or embellished for self promotion. One day, hopefully soon, there will be an official channel by which to get information directly from the source. | |

The official source would have been Prince and he was not saying much when he was alive. | |

I wonder why they edited out Mayte's name when Charles said that the only person who had a kid by Prince and the baby passed was (edited out). It's common knowledge that Mayte had a kid by him. | |

Mayte even put the child's name out in the public to let people know he had a child but the media never mentioned the child. | |

They have right to appeal to a higher court. It may not be resolved for awhile. [Edited 8/17/16 14:45pm] | |

Why don't they find out who shot at Black Lives Matter a few months back. Investigate the police department. | |

Story about Brianna Nelson's attorney.
The Nelson family gave Stoltmann some of Prince's gold and platinum records in appreciation for him handling the case. He told them he would hold them until they ask for them back.
"...They are being kept in a locked vault. The gold and platinum records are not part of the estate, since they were given by Prince to his half-brother and then passed to his client, Brianna Nelson. It is hard to estimate their value, Stoltmann said. It is also hard to estimate when the estate matters will be settled. The case is likely to last years, Stoltmann said.
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20160816/news/160819355/
There is a video of the lawyer talking and showing the records.
"...Since May, Stoltmann has traveled from Chicago to Minnesota numerous times for court-related matters in the case. Then, on Aug. 3, he had a chance to tour Prince's mansion."

updated: 8/16/2016 6:12 AM Barrington Hills lawyer helping handle Prince's estateThey have no money to pay him so they gave him the awards.😳 They could have filed their own claims and gone ahead and taken the test without his assistance and then hired someone and paid them out of their inheirance. The case is going to take years because people like him are going to drag it out as long as possible to try and suck money out of the estate. | |

- You are right if they fail the test he can take his awards down to the pawn shop however, it was him that tried to say they did not need to take the DNA test in the first place thus dragging this out longer than needed. | |

On my Facebook today about the upcoming concert in October. The very 1st sentence is what I wanted to share:
Months after the world lost singer Prince to chronic pain, his family has finally announced plans for an official tribute concert to celebrate the late artists’ life. Slated for October 13.

. SO this is a typically American (in my eyes) 'sue whatever you can!' type of approach, even at this stage of the case?
