James Brown’s Former Publicist Sues for Control of Late Singer’s Trust
April 16, 2009
A former publicist for the late soul star James Brown is suing his estate for control of a charitable trust that holds much of Mr. Brown’s wealth, reports the Associated Press.
Jacque Hollander claims she should control the trust because she helped set it up and is its only surviving partner. Mr. Brown, who died in 2006, left most of his primary assets to the trust, including music rights and a South Carolina property.
The singer’s adult children contend the will is not legitimate and are seeking a settlement on dividing his estate.
