Inside Prince's will row - family feud over £200m fortune to songs worth millions

Prince left a gaping hole in the music industry when he unexpectedly passed away in April 2016.The musician who was known for his outstanding vocal ability, outlandish dress sense and undeniably cool persona was highly recognised for his astonishing contribution to music with a career which spanned across 40 years.But although his life was legendary, his untimely death was a tragedy that many still find hard to believe.Prince died from an accidental overdose after consuming fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is 50 times more potent than heroin.Leaving behind his close family and friends as well as his loyal fan base, Prince failed to make a will before his passing.As another mournful anniversary falls amongst the world, Daily Star has taken a look inside a will that was never to be.Prince died at the age of 57 and did not leave a formal will behind.The star who was said to be worth $200 – $300 million (£153m to £229m) at the time of his death, had his family in long legal battles due to no written statement of where or who his money would go to if the worse was to happen.Talking about the complications caused with not having a will, Judith T.

Younger, a law professor at the University of Minnesota said: "It’s not unusual (because) he had complicated assets, he had a lot of money, he didn’t leave a will – not that that would necessarily hasten the process."His assets are hard to manage.

The heirs fight among themselves. But that's not unique, not in Minnesota or anywhere in the country."After the pop star died, several claimants came forward to hopefully gain some of his fortune.However, it was later revealed that Prince's official heirs were narrowed down to six people: Tyka Nelson, his full sister, and his half-siblings,.
