(FOX BUSINESS) – Four properties Aretha Franklin owned at the time of her death will be divided among her four sons months after a jury determined a 2014 will written by Aretha Franklin and found between her couch cushions superseded a 2010 handwritten one locked in a cabinet.
The judge overseeing Franklin’s estate says she’s following the wishes of Franklin’s 2014 will and has assigned real estate to the late star’s sons.
The will was found after the “Respect” singer’s niece, Sabrina Owens, searched her suburban Detroit home for documents after Franklin died of pancreatic cancer in 2018 without a formal will.
