Have you driven on the Prince Memorial Highway yet? It even has a purple sign!

Even though he is in the running for vice-president, Governor Tim Walz knows the coolest thing he did was to rename a stretch of highway after Prince!

"I think we can lay to rest that this is the coolest bill signing we'll ever do," Walz said before signing the bill, using purple ink, in May 2023. "I for one am just incredibly grateful to be a part of this celebration. But like so many Minnesotans, I'm just proud that Prince called Minnesota home.

Minnesotans love Prince. They love him to this day. They love what it stands for. And they love the idea that this genius, this global icon can come out and have roots and be truly Minnesotan.”

We may never know why Prince left no will at his passing, but it certainly keeps estate attorneys intrigued!

Last month, reports surfaced that a six-part documentary series about Prince might be "dead in the water" due to significant factual inaccuracies and disputes between director Ezra Edelman and the Prince estate. Notably, the estate resolved its six-year-long legal battle over Prince's assets in August 2022.

When the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, died in 2009, he left an estate estimated to be worth somewhere around $242 million. Failing to find a will, his mother filed court papers claiming he died intestate. She then asked that she not only be appointed executor of his estate, but also the guardian of his three children.

Then the IRS entered the picture, claiming that Jackson’s estate was worth $161 million at the time he died and he consequently owed millions in estate taxes. This battle continued for 12 years before a U.S. Tax Court judge finally ruled that Jackson’s estate was worth $4.2 million at the time of his death.

Appellate panel sides with Michael Jackson estate in tentative ruling expected to end Katherine Jackson's appeal of $600 million catalog sale to Sony

Prince Rogers Nelson, the musician known as “Prince,” passed away on April 21, 2016, in Minnesota. With an estimated estate valued between $100 million and $300 million, the beloved pop star reportedly did not leave a will or trust to direct the distribution of his assets, leaving his estate intestate.

Prince continues to intrigue even after his death. While we may never understand why he chose not to create an estate plan, his situation serves as a reminder. It's crucial to plan ahead with an Estate Plan to protect our loved ones and ensure our wishes are carried out.

The Golden Valley home has only had two owners since being built: Its current sellers and the late music icon Prince.
