BAMBERG, S.C. (AP) - Attorneys representing heirs of James
Brown's estate are headed to a South Carolina court amid requests
to stop a court-approved settlement agreement.
Lawyers and court officials say Tuesday's hearing in Bamberg
will likely center on a motion filed by former trustees Adele Pope
and Robert Buchanan to reconsider a settlement approval, signed
last month by a South Carolina judge. The two court-appointed
trustees had said that the settlement left out key parties.
The settlement gives nearly half of Brown's assets to a
charitable trust, about a quarter to his wife and young son, and
the rest to Brown's adult children.
