Aretha Franklin’s Will Drama Is Over

Posted on July 18, 2023 | by Mercy Kurian

This article highlights the importance of having a Last Will and. Testament drafted by an attorney; but it fails to mention another important estate planning vehicle – a Revocable Living Trust – that could have not only avoided the family drama related to Aretha Franklin’s objectives on how and who her assets should go to but could have kept this entire affair very private and out of the Court’s and public’s scrutiny. Same destination but a different (and in this case, a critically essential) route to get there!
