Prince’s ‘ love child’ wants court to perform DNA test

In May, Williams told the court that his paternity case should be determined before those brought by other, potential heirs

Los Amgeles: Legendary musician Prince’s alleged love child Carlin Q. Williams has filed new documents asking the court to move along the process of proving his blood relation to the singer. Williams, who is currently in prison, thinks that a DNA test should be performed as soon as possible, reported Aceshowbiz.

“Williams submits that DNA testing of all potential heirs should be a high and urgent priority by the special administra­tor, and this task should not be displaced by ancillary actions that may permit a final dispositio­n of intellectu­al property assets now owned by the estate,” read the documents.

According to the suit, special administra­tor of the estate filed documents asking for the court authorise the use of experts to “advise and assist the special administra­tor in the management and preservati­on of the wide- ranging intellectu­al property of the estate.”

But Williams believes that the possible heirs should be intimately involved with all happenings surroundin­g Prince’s estate. “Williams submits the hiring and retention of a ‘ monetisati­on’ expert in the immediate future by Bremer Trust, NA is premature and fails to consider the rightful involvemen­t and input in such decisions by the

deceased’s lawful heirs, and exceeds the scope of appointmen­t made by the Court in this proceeding,” read the objection.

“Williams submits that hiring and retention of any such experts should be conducted with the full knowledge, involvemen­t and consent of the lawful heirs to the estate — as those heirs may be determined according to law,” it continued. In May, Williams asked the court that his paternity case should be determined before those brought by other, potential heirs.

Another person claiming to be Prince’s adopted son has come forward. Norman Yates Carthens has filed court papers in Carver county, Minnesota.
