ELLA
FITZGERALD $15.00
One of the most beautiful and fascinating voices that
has ever existed on this planet, her signature scat singing being second
to none. This new file (another customer request) includes the Petition
and Order for Probate, the 25 page will and a 4 page codicil. |
JERRY
GARCIA $15.00
GRATEFUL DEAD fans wasted no time in requesting this
file. Garcia left a somewhat standard (but enlightening) 16 page will,
to which we add the3 page Petition for Probate, as well as a copy of the
two page death certificate. A must for DEAD fans (no pun intended). Garcia's
detailed autopsy report can be found elsewhere in our catalogues |
JUDY
GARLAND $5.00
Easily one of Hollywood's most talented and tragic personalities,
Miss Garland left a 4 page will signed Judy Garland Luft, being married
to Sid Luft at the time. Lots of bequests, none of which came to pass as
her estate was in the red for years. British death certificate included. |
MARVIN
GAYE $15.00
Marvin Gaye left no will. But from his sequestered file
from the Los Angeles Superior Court Archives we have taken 40 pages of
petitions, claims (and rejections thereof). Inventories, court orders,
accountings, and the death certificate, making this a very complete file. |
PHIL
HARRIS $10.00
40's bandleader, plus a radio, film and TV actor, Harris
was a principal of long standing among comedian Jack Benny's radio retinue,
parlaying his popularity into his own radio series. His will is 6 simple
pages, and to this we add the Order and Letters of Probate, plus a 6 page
Waiver of Accounting and finally, a rather sad Inventory and Appraisement
of his meager estate.
The
will of Alice Faye (Harris' wife of many years) can be found elsewhere
in our catalogues. |
GEORGE
HARRISON $15.00
Not much of a biographical nature need be said
of this talented musician, hands down one of the two most talented that came
from the Beatles. His Swiss Will, (but filed in the UK) is 6 pages to which we
add the British Probate Registry’s Probate cover sheet as well as the original
death certificate. Interesting side note: a controversy arose in the days after
Harrison's death, when it was revealed that his death certificate listed a
bogus address; it turns out he had died at Paul McCartney's Los Angeles house,
whose address they'd wanted to keep secret.
Harrison band
mate John Lenon's last will and testament can be found elsewhere ion our
catalogues. |
BOBBY
HATFIELD $10.00
Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and shorter member of the
Righteous Brothers, Hatfield died from what was later proven to be a cocaine
overdose. Included in this 8-page autopsy report from the Kalamazoo County
(MI) Medical Examiner are all the specifics, with the final opinion stating
that Hatfield suffered a sudden, unexpected death due to
acute cocaine toxicity. |
JIMI
HENDRIX $15.00
The 60's rock phenomenon died intestate (without a will)
in September of1970, and almost instantly the disputes over portions of
his estate began. Included in this 38 page file are claims and counter
claims, demands that Hendrix's library of raw audio tapes be released by
his co-partners at Electric Lady Studios, paternity claims, an accounting
of his estate at his death, and lastly, a copy of his estate tax return
filed with the IRS in 1971. Another great file, and a must for Hendrix
fans. |
AL
HIRT $10.00
Al Hirt, (often affectionately referred to as "The Round
Mound of Sound") racked up 21 Grammy nominations (winning in 1964 for his
signature song, JAVA, and 50 albums (17 charted, four went gold, one platinum)
in a career that spanned five decades. His will (filed in New Orleans,
of course) is a simple two-pages, to which we add an additional 11 pages
of petitions and affidavits. |
BILLIE
HOLLIDAY $15.00
Long on our list of customer requests, we were finally
able to unearth these documents in the Surrogate Courts in Manhattan. The
immensely talented Lady Day died intestate, so what we offer are 18 fact-filled
pages of inventory and appraisement of her estate as well as claims pertaining
to the same. This is an excellent package. |
BUDDY
HOLLY $20.00
Easily one of our favorite files, added to compliment
the
Richie
Valens file found elsewhere in this catalogue. Holly died intestate
(without a will) but what we offer are 20 pages consisting of petitions
and court orders pertaining to Holly's wrongful death, and an inventory
and appraisement of his estate. Last but best is a petition by the estate's
attorney pertaining to his belief that rock and roll was dead and all but
buried (an effort to have Holly 's estate tax liability reduced). Death
certificate also included. |
MICHAEL JACKSON
- PROBATE $35.00
Michael Jackson’s last will and testament is a simple 5 pages in length, but
that’s only the beginning for this massive 140+ page file. Included are the
initial filings, petitions, claims, proof of publication, as well as copies of
the search warrants served on Jackson’s Bel Air mansion and Dr. Conrad Murray’s
Houston storage unit. The wrangling between Jackson’s executors and Katherine
Jackson for control of the monstrous estate makes for interesting reading. Our
favorite document is the claim by one Billie Jean Jackson that the LW & T filed
was a forgery and that she was the mother and protector of the three Jackson
children, thus the entire estate should go to her.
Michael Jackson's extremely detailed autopsy report can be found elsewhere in
our catalogues. Please
note that due to its sheer size, this item cannot be used as a free document
with our free wills deal. Our apologies.

MICHAEL JACKSON
- 1993 SEXUAL BATTERY CIVIL SUIT $20.00
Michael Jackson always insisted that his 1993 out-of-court settlement with
Jordan Chandler, the boy who first accused him of molestation, was never an
admission of guilt; confidential documents revealed that the singer paid his
accuser, his family and their lawyer a total of $25 million. We offer the
original complaint, the boy’s narrative of the alleged sexual activity, and the
redacted confidential agreement for the huge monetary settlement, for a total of
42 fascinating pages.
Jackson’s last will and testament as well as his
autopsy report can be found elsewhere in our catalogues.

RICK JAMES
- PROBATE $15.00
James, the ultimate funkmaster, rose to fame in the late 1970s and early '80s with songs like MARY JANE, GIVE IT TO ME BABY, and SUPER FREAK. His hedonistic lifestyle and longtime crack cocaine addiction caused irreparable physical
damage (not to mention a stint in Folsom Prison) that eventually contributed to his death at age 56. This 31 page file includes James’ 13 page will, the Petition for Probate, Proof of Publication and several pricey creditors’ claims.
Rick James' autopsy report can be found elsewhere in our catalogues.

WAYLON
JENNINGS $20.00
Jennings, the "outlaw" singer, songwriter and guitarist, was
in Buddy Holly's original band, and would have died that cold night in 1959 had
he not given up his seat on the doomed airplane to The Big Bopper. This large
(60 pages) includes Jennings will, his Trust agreement, the Petition for
Probate, Notice of Publication, and affidavits from friends and loved ones (as
witnesses) to the signing of his will. |
SPIKE
JONES $15.00
This is a tough one. Just how do you describe Spike Jones?
Composer? Songwriter? Band leader? However you remember Spike Jones, colorful,
crazed and immensely funny certainly come to mind. This package includes
his 15 page will, 4 pages of funeral information as well as a 2 page claim
by his publicist. Death certificate included. |
JANIS
JOPLIN $15.00
This is a file for which we have had a lot of requests,
and were finally able to unearth it in the archives of the Marin County
(CA) Courts. Included are Joplin's 11 page will (signed days before her
accidental heroin overdose), Petition for Probate, Letters Testamentary,
and claims against the estate. In addition to the two page death certificate
are 15 pages of petitions, for and against the estate. A great file. You
can find Joplin's
16 page autopsy report elsewhere in our catalogues. |
PEGGY
LEE $15.00
Sultry song stylist Peggy Lee was a class act all the
way to the end. Oscar nominated for PETE KELLY'S BLUES, she went on to
kick the Walt Disney Company's ass in 1991 when she was awarded $2.3 million
for unpaid royalties from video sales of LADY AND THE TRAMP. This 26 page
file includes her will, Petition and Order for Probate, creditor's claims
for a couple of monster hospital bills, plus a few other goodies. |
JOHN
LENNON $10.00
A simple, dry 4 pages with a 2 page witness. Truly surprising
in its simplicity and lack of warmth. One gets the feeling that Yoko was
in the background on this one. Suggested reading: Fred Seaman's "John Lennon:
The Last Days." Lennon band mate George Harrison's last
will and testament can be found elsewhere ion our catalogues. |
ALAN
JAY LERNER $10.00
Alan Jay Lerner was the Oscar and Tony-winning composer,
playwright and lyricist who penned such Broadway successes as "Camelot,"
"Brigadoon," My Fair Lady" and "Gigi." He left a 9 page will which we supplement
with the 2 page Petition for Probate, the 2 page tax evaluation of his
estate, as well as a copy of the death certificate. |
LIBERACE
$10.00
The flamboyant one died of AIDS in February 1987, just
days after drafting his 5 page will. Additionally, we include the 3 page
Petition for Probate a single page Letters Testamentary, and the 2 page
death certificate. Liberace's
rather bizarre autopsy report can be found elsewhere in our catalogues. |
LINDA
McCARTNEY $15.00
Coupling photography with her love of rhythm and blues,
McCartney specialized in capturing the character of the new musicians,
the Beatles included, subsequently meeting her husband, Paul. Linda McCartney's
will (filed in the US, but apparently not in the UK) is 19 pages and deals
primarily with trusts and copyrights. Also included are 3 petitions to
seal certain court records, filed by her brother, the executor of the estate. |
