Aretha Franklin’s Sons Head To Court To Determine Her Estate After She Leaves Behind Two Wills

Another document, created in 2014, favors her sons Kecalf and Edward. What’s more, this version of Aretha’s wishes has Kecalf as executor, not Ted. The request for business classes is also missing. Additionally, it states that the “Respect” crooner’s Bloomfield Hills home in Detroit, MI — worth $1.1 million — would go to Kecalf and his grandchildren.

In both wills, Aretha stipulated that her oldest son, Clarence, who lives under a guardianship, would be regularly supported.
