The Oscar-nominated filmmaker and father of seven left a will that was from 1993 when he only had one child. Now the siblings were reportedly preparing for a battle in court. SEE ALSO: John Singleton Reportedly In Coma After Suffering Stroke Sheila Ward, Singleton’s mother who also handled all of her son’s business affairs, reportedly filed the 1993 will in court. TMZ reported that “she listed his assets at around $3.8 mil. That means more than $31 million is unaccounted for.” Singleton’s estate was estimated to be worth $35 million. It is possible Singleton had a trust for his kids, which would mean they wouldn’t have to go through a will. As it stands now, under law all of the money would go to his firstborn, Justice. However, another of Singleton’s kids, Cleopatra, reportedly accused Ward of trying to block the children from the estate. TMZ also reported that if Singleton “had died without a will, Sheila would get nothing from his reported $35 million estate, because under California law the assets would be divided equally among his 7 children. But, since there’s a will, John decides who gets what, and who gets nothing. Given the business relationship between John and Sheila, it’s a safe bet she’s the executor of the will, which surely would not please Cleopatra.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). Cleopatra filed a motion to block her grandmother’s proposed conservatorship and claimed Ward was trying to liquidate all of John’s assets and freeze out his children. TMZ also reported “the kids could file a separate lawsuit if they have beef over the trust or whatever John created to dispose of the $31 mil. A legal fight may not just pit grandma against grandkids … it could also pit some of the kids against the others.” Singleton was hospitalized last month after he suffered a stroke. The family decided to take the 51-year-old off life support on April 17, when he died . Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!

What does Scott Disick do for “work,” exactly? His shady behavior has become the stuff of legend, so on Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 10 Episode 3, Kourtney set out to answer that very question. What did she find out, and how did she go about it? Does she even know the father of her three kids at all? How did he react when inevitably found out? Let’s find out in this week’s KUWTK recap … Watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 10 Episode 3 Online Those who watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online or its spinoff Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons know all about The Lord’s paid “appearances.” His “I get paid to chill” boast and Kourtney’s “leave it to you to make getting wasted a career” retort last year made for one of the couple’s best exchanges.

The saga surrounding the tragic death of Gary Coleman continues to become more bizarre by the day, with two former loves now locking horns over him. Coleman’s former wife Shannon Price, who he divorced in 2008 but still lived with, has called the shots (and sold the Gary Coleman death photos ) so far. But a new will surfacing that allegedly names Anna Gray , the star’s close friend and former girlfriend, as executor and sole beneficiary, Price may be SOL. Gray, of Portland, Ore., filed a 2005 will last Friday in a Utah court stating Coleman left Gray the bulk of his estate. Said her attorney, Randy Kester: “Anna just wants to carry out Gary’s wishes. Her will is the most objective reflection of what Gary wanted. We’re going to be in this for the long haul.” Gary Coleman with Anna Gray (left) and Shannon Price. Gray was a business associate of the actor’s for about eight years before living with him briefly in Utah, and her will bumps Dion Mial out of the picture. Mial, Coleman’s former business manager, had filed a now-outdated copy of the actor’s will naming him as the executor, but that’s a moot point now. Price claims she was Gary’s common law wife and sole heir according to what she says is his handwritten 2007 will, written a week after they wed. Kester says ask a judge to issue an immediate restraining order against Shannon Price, who is “invading Gary’s home and disposing of his property.” “She has no right to his things.” The lawyer notes that he and Gray would not object to Price removing her own personal items, but this is different. “But she has taken all his personal papers, evidence and other belongings. That is completely disrespectful and a further indication of her objectives.” Price’s attorney, Mitchell Maughan, counters that “Nothing ever changed between Shannon and Gary,” and that “They lived as husband and wife.” “For now, this is about who should care for Gary’s remains. Beyond that, there isn’t much to fight over in his estate, there wasn’t much financially.” In both Price and Gray’s will, he requested to be cremated and that no funeral be held . Cremation is expected to take place in the next few days. But a Utah judge ruled Monday that Anna Gray will be allowed 48 hours to view Coleman’s body before that. A third party will oversee his affairs. A trial to determine if Price was indeed Coleman’s common law wife – and therefore possibly in charge of his remains – is expected to take months. “Shannon’s doing well, but it’s obviously hard for her as his wife to have people from his past coming out of the woodwork,” Maughan says. “Gary wanted to distance himself from all his past managers and the media, so this is upsetting to her, as it would be for anyone in her position.”
The trouble with Gary Coleman last will and testament is that nobody’s quite sure about the “last” part. A Utah attorney representing the executor of the actor’s estate…
