A judge in Minnesota finally signed off earlier this week on a settlement deal in relation to Prince’s estate.The musician had not prepared a will before his untimely death in 2016, resulting in much legal wrangling between the six siblings – mainly half-siblings – who were named heirs. Along the way there were disagreements about the management of the estate – including who should do the managing – and the decision of three of his siblings to sell some or all of their respective shares in his assets to Primary Wave.That said, despite those disagreements causing some delays, in the end the longest delay came from sorting out the estate’s tax affairs.

In a ruling on Tuesday, a Minnesota judge decided against Primary Wave’s proposal to create a single holding company.
