Aretha Franklin

Been seeing reports on twitter all morning that Aretha is gravely ill and might not be with us for long.

Apparently she's in hospice care at her home. If it's her Bloomfield Hills home, that's 2 doors down from my aunt and uncle.

There's no good reason not to have it done. Kids (and niece) are going to have fun.

When legendary singer Aretha Franklin died, she did not have a will or trust. Her four sons have filed a document listing themselves as interested parties, reports say.
:
In addition to her sons' filing, Franklin's niece has asked the court to appoint her as a personal representative of the estate, the Detroit Free Press reported. It said under Michigan law, if an unmarried person dies without a will, his or her assets are divided equally among any children.
:
"I just hope (Franklin's estate) doesn't end up getting so hotly contested," Wilson said. "Any time they don't leave a trust or will, there always ends up being a fight."

Wow. How is that possible? For regular people, it's easy to brush it off as something you'll do when you have the time/money. For people like that, they've got people who do that stuff for them. If it was a conscious decision, then maybe that says something about the family.

There were a number of charities, including her father's church, that were told by Aretha they would be taken care of after her death. I bet this is quite a shock to them.
