Ms. Franklin had been married twice, but was long since divorced.” Her sons — Clarence, Edward and KeCalf Franklin, and Ted White Jr. — listed themselves as “interested parties.”

Aretha was never known for adequately taking care of her business, thus, no surprise this situation exists...Where did all these wills come from???... That said, I'm sure that once the IRS and other debts are settled, there will be significant money now and in the future to spread amongst her heirs...
