It appears late singer Aaron Carter’s family has no intention of contesting his estate with his son, Prince Carter. Contrarywise, the Carters insist the star’s son inherit the massive fortune, becoming the sole heir at only a year old, barely a month after this dad’s passing.
Before his demise, Carter’s family had no contact with his son, despite the singer’s on-and-off engagement with the child’s mom, Melanie Martin. Speaking to Hollywood Life, a representative of the “Sooner or Later” crooner revealed the family’s intention to establish a relationship with the infant. The source also divulged that the family was ready to hand over his estate worth about $550,000 willingly.
Why Aaron Carter’s Son Is Most Likely To Inherit The Estate
The source also went into some legal details about the likelihood of Aaron Carter’s son inheriting the estate. According to the representative, based on California law, Prince remained the first in line to inherit his dad’s property since the “Aaron’s Party” singer left no will before his passing. The source explained:
“In California, the order of inheritance — when there is one parent who dies without a will — starts with the deceased individual’s child, followed by the surviving parent.”
Aside from this tiny legal detail, Aaron Carter’s family’s insistence that the toddler inherits his dad’s fortune also certifies him as the undisputed heir. Furthermore, the representative revealed that Aaron would have wanted his kid to assume the inheritance as well, saying:
“Aaron’s mom, Jane, and his family decided that his entire estate, which is roughly $550000, will go to his son, Prince. This is also what Aaron would want.”
The Family Plans To Welcome Prince Into The Clan
While Aaron Carter’s ex-fiance Melanie Martin has yet to respond publicly to the speculations surrounding her son’s would-be inheritance, his family remains unwavering in their bid to forge a relationship with the star’s offspring. Explaining the reasoning behind their decision, a source divulged:
“His [mother] does not want anything other than for her son to rest in peace now. Aaron’s son, prince, will always be welcomed to be a part of their family.”
Aaron Carter was found dead in a bathtub in his Palmade, California, home on November 5, 2022. At the time of his death, the music icon was in a relationship with Prince’s mom, Melanie, to whom he proposed in January 2020 on a YouTube live stream. However, their on-and-off relationship has experienced many rocky paths since they strived to make it work and give their beloved son the life he deserved.
