That would be totally in keeping with how he'd been doing it right along. I know people think that he was wrong for not making a will. I have no doubt that Prince knew exactly what he was doing and the lack of a will was intentional. I have no proof of that, but it completely fits in with what we all know about him.

This is certainly a possibility because Prince was very intentional about most everything he did. A major reason for someone to have a will would be to care for a spouse and/or children, but he had no wife and no surviving children when he died, as we all know.

Even if he had kids they can be taken care of via a trust which we the public would have no knowledge of. It would be private and off the radar. Wills are not private and wills can be contested.

Looks like Breamer is being investigated.

http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7890280/prince-administrator-pursue-claims

Since Prince died just over a year ago, his estate has been overseen by two different administrators. Now a judge is readying to bring in a third.

Last week, a lawyer representing the estate’s current representative, Comerica Bank & Trust, filed a letter asking the judge overseeing the case to appoint an additional “special administrator” that could “pursue claims” on behalf of the estate that Comerica can’t, due to conflicts of interest. The letter also suggested that the judge appoint an attorney to the role. While it wasn’t clear from the heavily redacted letter which claims such an administrator might pursue, several of Prince’s heirs have called in previous court filings for an investigation into the some of the deals inked on the estate’s behalf by Bremer Trust, which served as the estate’s special administrator until February.

Court Voids Universal $31 Million Deal With Prince Estate

Those deals included a $31 million agreement with Universal Music Group that had given the label the licensing rights to some of Prince’s recorded music and his “vault” of unreleased works. A judge voided that deal last month amid uncertainty surrounding whether the rights granted to UMG conflicted with rights that Warner Music Group already owned. Bremer’s court-appointed entertainment advisors, L. Londell McMillan and Charles Koppelman, earned a combined 10% commission on that deal and others they negotiated for Bremer.

ADVERTISING

Now that the deal has been rescinded, the Prince estate can shop the rights elsewhere, but is likely to earn far less for them, raising questions among some close to the estate over whom to hold liable for the botched deal. Bremer and both advisors previously told Billboard they stand by their work, while the judge didn’t pin blame in his order to void the deal.

Comerica can’t take a position on Bremer’s liability because the court ordered it to enter into a “common interest agreement” that precludes the two from being adverse parties. That agreement “creates a unique problem” for the estate, according to a court filing by some heir lawyers earlier this year, making it unclear “who should bring any adverse claims against the special administrator,” and “there are undoubtedly potential claims that exist.”

On Monday, the judge granted a motion to allow all filings related to the "second special administrator" to be filed under seal.

That's good to know, that something might actually happen to Bremer over this mess.

Where did you see that? All I saw was the below which doesn’t sound like it’s something new.

They Comerica are bringing in another SA and they would like for this person to be an attorney for an investigation into some of Breamers dealings.

Comerica cannot do the investiagation due to some conflict of interest ( this is explained in the article)

Why do you think another SA is being brought in? Do you not understand that some serious illegal things occured and that Comerica along with the family are probaly trying to see if they can get that commission money back from Londell and Kopplemen.

I am going to guess they will make a case with legal justification to ask for the commision back rather than just sue these two outright.

Well let's see MJ had a trust and selected two people he trusted to run it.

1) These two people have run up a hugh tax bill and sold the music catalogue off to the pay the taxes.

2) Cannot seem to unload the Neverland ranch.

3) Lost an embarrassing lawsuit to Quincy Jones

4) Had goof balls like Justine Timberlake singing on MJ songs

------

MJ selected these people and things still did not go smoothly. Remember Breamer had a duty to oversee LM and Kooplemen and they failed in that duty. Also remember Breamer was Prince's wealth management and bank for over 30 years so he did trust them and they still fucked up.

LR, I understand about the MJ estate. My feeling is that I look at people in that stratosphere, and there are some doing better than others. Paul McCartney has used his in-laws since 1969. The Foo Fighters use John Silva - he is the only manager Dave Grohl has ever had. There are some good ones. But the artist has to become savvy in terms of the business end of things AND has to be willing to listen to what the people around him are saying.

But Prince did have attorney's and he did have lucurtive contracts or contracts he was happy with at the time of his death. We are missing a lot of info about his health so we do not know if he was suffering from any other illness other than pain pill addiction to know if he should have doing end of life planning.

He may have felt he would beat whatever he was going thru because so far we know that he had been dealing with joint pain as far back as the late 90s and I bet he had been taking pain meds off and on for years probaly never thinking about addiction or what effect they might have had on his health.

He got his masters back and he sat up his LLC and he did not die with racks of debt but sometimes the best plans can go sideways.

Prince’s Estate Moves Toward Legal Action Against Former Advisers

AGF S.R.L./REX/SHUTTERSTOCK

AUGUST 8, 2017 | 05:26AM PT

A series of heavily redacted documents made public Monday indicate that Prince’s estate is preparing to take legal action against former special music advisors L. Londell McMillan and Charles Koppelman, a source close to the situation confirmed to Variety.

Comerica Bank, which was named the estate’s corporate personal representative in January, has moved to appoint a special administrator to “investigate and, if warranted, pursue claims on behalf of the estate … in a situation where the Personal Representative has a conflict of interest.” This is believed to be the case between Comerica and Bremer Bank, which was the estate’s previous, temporary administrator. The documents reference a conference call held on July 28 that included representatives for the two banks, Prince’s six heirs, and McMillan and Koppelman.

A tribute concert held in Minneapolis in October was also beset by accusations of mismanagement.

Documents indicate that McMillan and Koppelman received a 10% commission on deals they closed for the estate, although the status of their commission on the Universal recorded-music deal remains undetermined.

Troy Carter, who replaced... Koppelman as the estate’s special music advisor in April, is not mentioned in the unredacted segments of the documents.

While there has been talk of fraud charges with regard to the rescinded Universal recorded-music deal, several informed parties tell Variety a less extreme solution to the issue is more likely. In a court document released in June, Universal wrote that McMillan said on June 22 that the Warner agreement “could have been drafted better,” and “there is no dispute that these rights are confusing.”

Reached by Variety hours after the Universal recorded-music deal was nullified, McMillan said: “Pleased this is resolved. We respect the Court’s decision. Comerica chose to rescind and I would have chosen otherwise than released Prince music with UMG or independently, as Prince did. There was no wrongdoing on our end. We stand by our work.”

Confusion over the deal, which covered much of Prince’s recorded works after the termination of his 19-year-long initial deal with Warner Bros. in 1996, began as soon as it was announced in February. The announcement said that “beginning [in 2018], UMG will obtain U.S. rights to certain renowned Prince albums released from 1979 to 1995” — the years that the artist was signed with Warner Bros. Records and released his most commercially successful recordings by far, including the “1999,” “Purple Rain,” “Parade,” “Batman,” and “Diamonds and Pearls” albums. However, Prince had cut a new deal with Warner in 2014 that sources say garnered him the rights to the majority of his work released on the label — albeit with certain key exceptions.

Because Van explained how he received a large check for his charity from Prince. That is how they met so Prince approched him not the other way around. Prince then offered him a job after Van got fired from the White House.

We now know Prince hooked a lot of people up with jobs.

So they’re going after McMillan and Koppelman. It’s possible Bremer was in over its head ut I’m thinking they were as much a victim as the estate was. And I still don’t get how UMG gets off...they certainly didn’t do the proper due diligence.

UMG was the victim of a bad deal and I do not see what they would be sued for. If the estate sued them they would just say that the estate committed fraud against them and counter-sue.

Bremer should have been overseeing L&K and they should have also realized that just giving Lonnie the job because he knew one of the attorney's with Breamer firm without even looking at other attorney's for the job was going to make them look compliant with his behavior.

If Breamer was a victim then they can sue L&K.

I wonder if there is any defense along the lines of "we told Ms. Nelson we did not have any experience in this regard, but because there was a looming tax bill and other issues, we hired people Mr. Nelson had dealt with and/or who had experience in the field. We didn't know they were scamming the estate." Bremer is on the hook, but it will be interesting to see for how much.

They could have turned the family down but once they took on the role they had a duty to oversee whom every they hired to do the job.

There must be thousands of entertainment lawyers across this country as well as lawyers that handle estates. Breamer did not look at any proposals from any other attorney.

As for charities: He says P approached him… the whole anonymous check story sounds like BS.

As almost everyone here says…. P is not here to verify the information so why should we believe him/her? Why do people take VJ's word at face value when he’s been disgraced in the public eye, but we scoff at P’s ex’s - wives and girlfriends? We have VJ’s word only…. and he’s looking to further his own agenda.

VJ is looking to play on the public love for P to lure you into donating to his, VJ's causes/charities. Can anyone find tax returns for these charities? I can’t. If you can find them, please send them to me.

Not that new charities can’t be started but be cautious. Donate with your head as well as your heart.

1) He was on the View with Prince a few years ago discussing their charity work. Why would Prince go on T.V to discuss a charity that does not exsist? Prince gave him the seed money to start it and was alive and well to promote "Yes We Can Code"

2) He was at the Essence festival were teens were invited to join the "Yes We Code" non-profit to learn coding. https://www.yeswecode.org/prince

3) See IRS info. This is a real charity. https://apps.irs.gov/app/...rchChariti

4) Prince gave money anonymously all the time and Van is not the only person to say so.

5) You may not like Van's polictics but Please explain what is wrong with non-profits that provide job training?

4) You may not like Van's politics but please explain to me what is wrong with Charities that help young people get job?
