'It's a mess': Aaron Carter's fiancée Melanie Martin 'at war' with late star's family over his estate
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The unexpected early death of Aaron Carter was a tragedy, and now his family seems ready to go to war. This includes his ex-girlfriend Melanie Martin, the mother of Carter's son Prince. The official cause of death has not yet been announced, but Carter's family and friends fear that the singer relapsed into his drug addiction, which is considered the most likely cause of death.
Martin has apparently been in talks with the legal team in recent days to resolve the issue of Aaron's estate and who would inherit his assets - Martin would no doubt want to secure her son's future by securing the assets for him, which seems the most likely and usual outcome. However, the Sun now reports that the Carter family is fighting back, as the late pop star did not leave a will - something he was advised to do by Carter's lawyer, according to TMZ.
