It is my understanding the presumed heirs have access to sealed documents. Their attorneys would need to know what is going on in the case and how to respond to the sealed issues. I also see Tyka fired her attorneys and brought in two new attorneys from California and Florida. Also, Venita Leverette is going to the Court of Appeals in regard to her claim that her father is Prince's father and the Court denied her DNA testing. Venita is Alfred's sister. First one to file an Appeal. I edited this response because I went back and reviewed her claim.

MORNINGSONG: Leverette filed an appeal to the decision to exclude her from DNA testing. Also Tyka has gotten new lawyers. I tracked the new case down and read the filing. A16-1545 it is under the appeals tab. | |

IM WRONG! Venita is Alfred's sister. I need to go look at her claim again. I think she is saying her father is Prince's father! | |

I don't know if you have seen this. The very last exhibit is interesting.

This is why I said the court should allow these wanna be heirs to take a DNA test and be done with it. Once the test shows that they are not related, it will be over and there would be no grounds for an appeal. | |

Even if she is P's biological sister she cannot be his legal sister. John L. Nelson never disputed P's paternity, and acknowledged him as his legal son in the final Divorce Decree. P already has a legal father (John) and it cannot be challenged. | |

Another appeal filed today by the Gresham's. They are saying their Dad is P's biological father. Aye, aye, aye. | |

So grateful for those of you keeping up with this and making it simple for the ones of us who have no legal background. All I see is a seriously disturbed woman from Georgia and money gushing out of the estate in legal fees. It infuriates me that money that could-and should-be used for protecting his ownership rights,distribution of his music and sustaining his legacy is being wasted on this nonsense. The fans are the real loosers here because hands are tied as far as getting recorded material and other things-such as SOTT videos- released in the US. Rediculous the Judge is allowing this to continue. | |

There is a presumption of paternity between a child and father when the child is born during the marriage. Even though John L is listed on Duane's birth certificate there is no presumption of a father-child relationship because John L. and Duane's mother were divorced at the time of his birth. The Judge ruled that Brianna and V made a prima facie case showing they are potential heirs and ordered they undergo DNA testing. They have refused to do so and state their claim is not based on genetics but based upon the relationship between Duane and John L.
Bremer argues even if John L treated Duane as a son this claim is not enough for them to inherit. Brianna and V believe they fall under the Probate Code which permits "equitable adoption" which typically applies to foster children who were not formally or legally adopted by their foster parents. Bremer has asked the Judge to clarify whether Brianna and V have a legally viable claim before they start a 9 month discovery schedule which will hold up the estate proceedings. The Judge has not ruled on this and they have until the end of the month to submit a Memorandum of Law, and then Bremer will have additional time to respond. Thats the short version of what is going on with Brianna and V. | |

That makes 2 BabyDaddy claims (other than John L). I am sure it hurts the siblings to hear of such nonsense claims against Mattie. | |

So I'm guess the judge originally dismissed these people claiming their dad is Prince's real dad, based on John L. claiming Prince as his son and the father/son relationship they had so no DNA testing was done. Which in turn leads the attorneys for Duane's daughter and granddaughter to state that John L. accepted Duane as a son. No wonder Tyka needed slicker lawyers. | |

Yep, the Judge dismissed their claims and they did not complete DNA testing. These appeals will take a significant amount of time to go through the system. | |

The Gresham's filed a Notice of Appeal. They served everyone involved in the case. This service includes the 7 claimants under seal. The Judge has only ruled on 5 of those claimants. I notice some other interesting things in this document.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune is reporting that six people claiming to be heirs have filed appeals with the Minnesota Board of Appeals, which won't decide the cases until next year, and even then the people could appeal to the Minneapolis Supreme Court. The article also mentions a separate filing by Corey D. Simmons who claims he is Duane's son and Prince's nephew. | |

Have you had an opportunity to look at today's court filings? If not check out Brianna's and VN's objection to pay Bremer's fees. I use an IPad mini and I don't know how to attach the document. | |
