Aretha Franklin ,76 died of pancreatic cancer, without a will.‘I tried to convince her that she should do not just a will but a trust while she was still alive,’ says Don Wilson, a Los Angeles lawyer who worked on entertainment matters for Franklin for nearly 30 years. ‘She never told me, ‘No, I don’t want to do one.’ She understood the need.

Laura Zwicker, an attorney who specializes in estate planning but is not affiliated with the Franklin estate, says she sees it happen all too often in her work.
Papers filed in Michigan’s Oakland County court last week by David J. Bennett, the lawyer who worked most closely with Franklin, lay out the few known basics:
