A judge as authorized a bank to manage the music legend Prince 's assets, as it's confirmed he died without leaving a will, without any child. It's thought his assets will then be divided between his brothers and sisters.
A
Minnesota judge appointed the bank to safeguard the estate, and
scheduled a probate hearing for next week after the performer's sister
said he left no known will, court records showed.
The musician,
whose hits included Purple Rain and When Doves Cry, died at the age of
57 last week at his home in suburban Minneapolis.
Acting on a request from the star's sister Tyka Nelson, a
judge in Carver County, Minnesota, named Bremer Trust as special
administrator to handle Prince's estate, which is estimated at hundreds
of millions of dollars.
Prince's sister asked for the bank to be appointed, saying it dealt with the singer's affairs for years.
A probate hearing in the case was scheduled for May 2, according to state court documents and a court spokesman.
The Bremer Trust now has the authority to manage and
supervise the late music legend's assets and determine the identity of
his heirs, the court documents said.
According to TMZ, his brothers and sisters are counted as his heirs.
The
judge is reportedly only making the trust the administrator for up to
six months, until a personal representative can be appointed.
Prince was married and divorced twice. Nelson on Tuesday listed herself and five half siblings as his heirs.
