James Brown's family settles estate after 15-year battle
Fox News
James Brown’s family has reached a settlement ending a 15-year battle over the late singer’s estate, an attorney involved in the mediation said Friday.
Legal wrangling over the assets of the "Godfather of Soul" has been ongoing since his death at the age of 73 on Christmas Day 2006. The performer’s death touched off years of bizarre headlines, beginning with Tomi Rae Hynie — a former partner who claimed to be Brown's wife — being locked out of his 60-acre estate while photographers captured her sobbing and shaking its iron gates, begging to be let in.More Related News
