James Brown estate settlement nears final agreement
Lawyers say South Carolina and Brown family representatives are nearing a settlement over the late singer James Brown estate. The accord reportedly covers the inheritance for James Brown II and resolves issues on the trust for underprivileged children, the authenticity of Brown’s last marriage, and ownership of the Beech Island home and music rights. Court proceedings noted that about 90 percent of issues are resolved, with details to remain confidential. Meanwhile a potential half-brother, Kevin Jones, plans a DNA test to confirm lineage.
