The fight over Prince’s reported $300 million estate continues, and two women who say they are his nieces are objecting to genetic testing.
With many people stepping forward to claim a share, the court appointed special administrator, Bremer Trust, asked that all people claiming to be heirs be genetically tested. Briana and Victoria, who say they are related to the late star, object to the order and argue it conflicts with Minnesota law.
Their lawyer, Andrew Stoltmann, told Radar Online, “We simply asked the judge to follow the law in Minnesota. Specifically under the Minnesota Parentage Act, there’s a specific protocol for who is or isn’t a biological heir. Under the Parentage Act, as a matter of law, because Duane Nelson, according to his birth certificate, shares a biological father with Prince, he is an heir.”
According to reports, the women first came to the court’s attention when Wisconsin lawyer Michael B. Padden wrote a letter to the judge about their possible claim to the estate.
Their objection to the DNA order is awaiting a ruling from the court.
