Lawyers Ditch Concerns Aaron Carter’s Son Prince Might Not Inherit His Estate – Exclusive

As has been pointed out by real estate attorney Ryan Sellers, a founding partner of Dallas-based Hales & Sellers, PLLC, any custody agreement related to Prince Carter will not affect his ability to inherit Father Aaron Carter’s estate. Sellers explained that “Under California law, intestate laws are not affected by a custody agreement. A will is the only way to disinherit a child. Otherwise, the child is considered an heir.” Since Prince is a minor, Sellers noted that the boy’s mother, Melanie Martin, “would gain possession of Aaron’s estate,” as she is his custodial mother. “If Aaron has outstanding creditors,” Sellers added, “they also have a say in who handles his assets, at least until they are paid.”

Comments made by Scott E. Rahn, Estate Attorney, Founding Partner of RMO, LLP, based in Los Angeles, admitted those made by sellers. Rahn noted that custody arrangements prior to Aaron’s death would not affect Prince’s estate, stating, “Mr. Carter’s only son is the sole heir to the property and will inherit all property under California intestate laws.” “. In addition, Rahn shared that the typical legal process related to obtaining Prince’s estate “generally takes a year, but it can be longer or shorter depending on the complexities.”
