Two sons of the late singer Aretha Franklin gave opposing opinions Monday about her final wishes, testifying in an unusual trial that will determine whether a 2014 handwritten document found in couch cushions will lead to her estate.
There are differences between the documents, though they both appear to indicate that Franklin's four sons would share income from music and copyrights.That version crossed out White’s name as executor of the estate and named another son, Kecalf Franklin, in his place. Kecalf Franklin and grandchildren would get his mother’s main home in Bloomfield Hills, which was valued at $1.1 million when she died but is worth much more today.
Asked by his attorney where Aretha Franklin often read mail, made important phone calls, signed documents and even slept, Kecalf Franklin repeatedly said, “on the couch.”
