Aretha Franklin didn't have a will.
We will soon find out just how much she was worth, as her attorney says she also left no trust.
Her four sons have filed a document in court as interested parties in her estate, and niece Sabrina Owens has asked to be appointed personal representative of Franklin's estate.
Attorney Don Wilson says he tried for years to get the Queen of Soul to do a trust in order to keep her finances, about which she was intensely private, from going public in probate court.
Wilson represented Franklin for the past 28 years for entertainment matters.
