PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — A judge is expected to consider a request for a handwriting expert to examine wills discovered in couch cushions after Aretha Franklin's death.
A hearing is scheduled Tuesday in Oakland County Probate Court, north of Detroit.
A handwritten 2014 document shows Franklin apparently wanted her son, Kecalf Franklin, to serve as the representative of her estate, which might be worth millions.
But lawyers for Franklin's estate have said "there is no basis" to believe Kecalf Franklin has those skills.

States with Lotteries turn over millions to people who are utterly incapable every day.
Wills in couch cushions are like votes found in trunk of poll worker days after a close vote.
Wonder if her fingerprints can be found on that will....
“Think.”
I am. Fraudulent will in that thar sofa.
He can’t hire lawyers if he needs’em?? Ridiculous!
lol
I reserve judgment. There’s an awful lot of BS going around these days.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me...
Either was it sounds like at least one of her family members is behaving like a hood rat. Along with at least one hood rat lawyer.
And in the end...the lawyers will get all the $$$.
Yeah, much better to let the lawyers wrangle with it for the next 20 years, leaching off her estate until nothing is left for her heirs.
Hey, if it was found in the couch cushions it must be legit./sarc
Exactly my first thought! They’re both equally stupid and ridiculous!
It’s playing out pretty much as expected.
The lawyer’s comment....doesn’t have the skills....is ridiculous. Almost no one has the skills for any large estate. You hire an attorney or accountant to keep it straight.
The case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce has been resolved. However, the whole estate is found to have been absorbed in costs.
I keep all my wills - along with some spare potato chips - in my couch cushions.
