Law firm says it has information “potentially relevant” to Prince heir claims
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 15 July 2016
A Minneapolis law firm which previously represented Prince says it has “potentially relevant” information to aid the Minnesota court which is currently trying to identify the late musician’s legitimate heirs.
As previously reported, no will has been found since Prince died in April. Last month eleven people made a claim to being an heir, which would give them a share of the star’s wealth and a say in the future management of his catalogue and legacy.
It’s not thought law firm Henson & Efron actually has a will, but the court confirmed this week that the lawyers “might possess confidential information potentially relevant to the determination of the appropriate beneficiaries” of Prince’s estate.
The court has given Henson & Efron permission to share that confidential information with the trust currently overseeing the administration of the Prince estate. It remains to be seen what impact that then has on subsequent legal proceedings.
