When there is a lot of money involved, people can lose their sanity, and that’s what happened with these problematic inheritances that have generated scandals in the lives of celebrities.

Problems with Paul Walker's Legacy
Pinterest
Just a few weeks after Paul Walker's death, his family began battling for the money, as the actor's $ 25 million inheritance is the cause of the dispute. Before he died, Paul left all his money in the hands of his 15-year-old daughter, Meadow, and Walker's dad tried to challenge that decision and decided to bring the will to court.

In addition, Paul's father wanted Meadow to live with the actor's mother, so that she would be in charge of managing the 25 million of his granddaughter, arguing that she would take care of the money until the girl meets the majority of years. The interest of protecting Meadow is very suspicious, since the actor's daughter lives very happy with her mother Rebeca Sosteros, so there is no need to request custody.
The inheritance of Juan Gabriel

In addition to an impressive musical legacy, the artist had a lot of money, but everything got complicated when it was confirmed the existence of some unrecognized children of the singer. The only heir to the fortune was his son, Ivan Aguilera.

Everything was quiet in the distribution until the two unrecognized children of the singer, José Alberto and Joao, who showed their blood ties with the artist and claimed part of the inheritance, appeared on the scene. In February 2017 a lawsuit was initiated by these boys who demand recognition and inheritance.
The famous Michael Jackson's heritage

Far expecting an act of union between his family, the death of Michael Jackson was the starting gun of the battle for the money. If the organization of funerals and tributes to the deceased musician was surrounded by controversy, let’s not talk about the heritage. Two groups were quickly formed: one integrated with the singer's mother and his children and the other conformed with the Jackson brothers, who accused the executors of the will for kidnaping the mother and trying to take them out of the way.

The brothers alleged that the will was false and brought the case to court, at the end they didn't win. Now, six years after Jackson's sudden death, his family continues the dispute for his money.
Problems with Prince's inheritance
Pinterest
After his death and without descent or sentimental couple, the debate over his fortune began. One of the options was to give his great fortune to charity, since he was always donating money to charities. After verifying that there wasn't left any legal document in which a determined person was established, it was given to the sister of the artist, Tyka Nelson, who received about 300 million dollars of the fortune that owned Prince, including all his properties.

Other media assure that it must be distributed among the eight stepbrothers of the artist. And that Prince's heritage has to add about 500 million in rights of his songs and all that has being generated by the merchandising until this moment.
Robin Williams' heritage

A year after the death of Robin Williams, his family, the widow and his children continue disputing the inheritance. Although it appeared from the outset that everything was well tied up, they didn't agree on what to do with Williams's nearly 300 personal belongings and the money for maintaining the house he shared with his wife.

In June they asked the judge for two more months to solve the remaining conflicts. It was not much of a fight, but it was complicated.
The Duchess of Alba tried to leave everything in order
Pinterest
In order to be able to get marry with Alfonso Diez, the Duchess of Alba had to distribute the fortune to obtain the approval of its children. A measure that was not exempt from controversy, as Jacobo, the rebellious one, expressed his displeasure with the cast and tightened the relationship a little more.

After the death and the opening of a will without too many surprises, it was his widow who was not entirely happy. Apparently, Cayetana had expressed a desire about the economic future of her husband that was not detailed in the testament. Alfonso did not want to remove at first, anything related to the inheritance, but earlier this year jumped the news of a possible meeting between lawyers on both sides.
James Brown

Singer James Brown, "the Godfather of Soul," died of heart failure in late 2006 at age 73, leaving behind an estate of approximately $100 million. Brown specified in his will that he wanted his money to be divided between two trusts: one for the education of his grandchildren and one for the education of needy children in Georgia and South Carolina.

Despite this, Brown's wife and children challenged the will in 2009 and were subsequently awarded half of his fortune by the court. This decision has recently been challenged by Jacque Hollander, a record producer who helped Brown start the original trusts for the nonprofits and who now wants control of the money originally set aside for them.

Smith argued that although he didn’t include her in his will, Marshall intended to provide for her. Her stepson, E. Pierce Marshall, called her a “golddigger.” Smith initially won a $474 million judgment, but after more than a decade of bitter arguing.

Doors front-man Jim Morrison died young at just 27 years of age, in 1971, from a heroin overdose. While his estate had limited cash when Morrison died, the assets in his estate became worth around $80 million.

After Jim Morrison died, his estate was tied up in litigation in probate court. Dozens of women came forward with paternity claims. To make it worse, Morrison’s former Doors band mates also sued, claiming a bigger share of the Doors royalties.
