Taken from the article in MUSIC BUSINESS WORLDWIDE - [[a link to the full complaint can be found in that).
"Miller, known best for co-writing For Once In My Life – a track that became a Hot 100 hit for Tony Bennett, a No.2 hit for Stevie Wonder, and was also recorded by Diana Ross, Frank Sinatra, The Temptations and others – died in 2007, but his heirs have become embroiled in a complicated dispute over his royalties.
In 2022, Sony Music Publishing reportedly signed a deal with one of Miller’s children, Lisa Dawn Miller, to administer the rights for 130 of the late songwriter’s compositions.
Now two of Lisa Miller’s half-siblings, also children of Ron Miller, allege that she gained control over those copyrights by illegitimate means, and have gone to court over the matter.
In a complaint filed September 7 with the US District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division, Julie Moss and Mark Miller allege that Lisa Miller “launched a scheme to usurp control” of a 50% share of Ron Miller’s copyrights from his wife from his second marriage, Aurora Miller."
Please note that I am just providing links to publicly available information on the web - I'm not expressing any opinion on the matter. Lisa Dawn Miller is not the same person who had records issued by Motown under the name Little Lisa.
