Tom Petty's widow and daughters locked in legal battle for control of late musician's estate
It has been one and half years since legendary singer-songwriter Tom Petty passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest just 18 days before his 67th birthday. Having sold over 80 million records in a career spanning four decades, Petty is one of the best-selling music artists of all-time and left behind significant wealth to his wife Dana Petty, and his two daughters Adria Petty and Annakim Violette.
However, it seems that there is now a tussle between the trio for control over the management of his estate. According to Billboard, Dana filed a petition in the Los Angeles County Court alleging that Adria and Annakim — who are Petty's daughter from his marriage with Jane Benyo — are conspiring to push her out as a trustee, making it impossible for her to manage the estate.
