James Brown estate debt resolved by money manager
A money manager took control of James Brown assets after a 2009 settlement that wiped out more than 20 million dollars of estate debt. The deal, brokered by ex Attorney General Henry McMaster, funded Brown’s charitable trust and college scholarships while distribution split assets for the trust, widow, and children. Trustees challenge authority to approve the settlement and seek to dismiss it, saying they were not party to negotiations. The court will hear arguments on Tuesday with trustees claiming missteps and improper self payments prior to the settlement.
