Martin Luther King’s children are in court fighting over the estate of the famous civil rights leader. The family squabble over the estate of Martin Luther King that became public a few years ago has yet to be resolved. In the case two of King’s children are accusing a third of wrongfully taking money from the estate. From CNN:
King’s children were in Fulton County, Georgia, Superior Court Monday in a dispute over their parents’ estates.
Two children of the civil rights icon are suing their brother, accusing him of wrongfully taking money from their parents’ estates.
The Rev. Bernice King and Martin Luther King III allege Dexter King took “substantial funds” out of Coretta Scott King’s estate and “wrongfully appropriated” money from their father’s estate.
Dexter King has publicly denied the accusations.
When I saw this story it made me wonder, What Would Their Daddy Do? This would have to be a parents nightmare. Making matters worse is what the image of their father stood for, peace and unity which makes this public bickering even more bizarre.
BMWK, is the legacy of Martin Luther King being damage by his children? Have you set up a will yourself and instructions on how your estate should be carried out?
