More potential Prince heirs come forward

New York : Two more people came forward Wednesday as heirs to Prince as the administrator of the pop legend’s estate laid out plans for genetic testing.

The two new potential heirs both said they were descended from Prince’s older half-brother Duane Nelson, who headed security for the singer before becoming estranged. He died in 2011.

Brianna Nelson said in a sworn statement to the court in Carver County, Minnesota that she was Duane Nelson’s daughter and his only living child after her brother Duane Nelson Jr. died.

Another woman, Jeannine Halloran, said that she had an 11-year-old daughter with the late Duane Nelson Jr. The existence of the minor heir, known in court documents as V.N., first emerged last week as a lawyer said he had tried and failed to contact the mother.

Prince died suddenly on April 21 and had no recognized children or will even though his estate may be worth hundreds of millions of dollars and includes vast vaults of unreleased recordings.
