Nate Dogg’s Kids Against Grandma and Stepmom Running Estate

*Nate Dogg’s kids are not trying to have their grandmother or stepmother in charge of their late father’s estate, his daughter told TMZ.

The singer died in 2011 without a will, so his wife Latoya Calvin took charge. His kids didn’t agree and asked the court to nominate an attorney named Alex Borden instead — but a judge ruled against it.

Latoya filed new legal docs this week, according to TMZ, requesting Nate’s mother, Ruth Holmes, also be named as co-administrator of his estate … a move that does not sit well with Nate’s children.

Nate’s daughter, Aundrane Hale, tells TMZ her grandmother is only involved in the filing for the money, saying, “Ruth doesn’t have my best interest or the interest of my brothers and sisters.”

Aundrane says that if Latoya and Ruth are the co-administrators, they won’t distribute any money to the kids. She says Latoya “didn’t even show up to Nate’s funeral” and says that Ruth “was never a grandmother” and has withheld money in the past.

A judge has yet to rule.

Sounds potentially ugly on a massive scale. confused This article is leading me to think maybe his family is another DJ Quik sitch where they weren't around when he was broke, but now have hands out once he got rich.

I wonder if Nate really had much of an estate or back catalog to manage anyway?

It's true for some artists, but usually artists who were far more famous than Nate. In Nate's case, I'm not sure about his back catalog and if he's been properly credited on songs and the like. Where this could get interesting is if the estate starts suing folks over his credits. Death Row was notorious for not giving proper songwriting credits, so there may be potential for some law suits that can produce $$$$ for his estate.

Even though Nate recorded a lot for Death Row. The majority of the hit songs he sung on we're not on Death Row.So wouldn't be that much $ from them.I'm sure he wrote most of his hooks...He was the first T-Pain....I went to his viewing & worked with him before....
