Aretha Franklin Hid 3 Handwritten Wills in Her Home
May 21, 2019
The discovery of three handwritten wills by Aretha Franklin has many wondering whether they will stand up in court. Franklin was 76 when she died on Aug. 16 after a battle with cancer. She apparently hid three separate documents around her Michigan home, including under a sofa cushion and in a locked cabinet. When Franklin died it was believed she had no will. Two are dated from 2010, while the most recent is from March 2014.
