If Holder did smoke some lace before the shooting, I wonder if they're gonna try and go after his dealer also?

absolutely incorrect. there is a list of priorities that the court can choose from and "baby mama" is not even specified on the list but may qualify as "other person" which is last on the list. parents and siblings are high on the list and they can even nominate each other (which i believe is what is happening here).

2007 California Probate Code Article 4. :: Administrators

yall gotta stop misleading each other in this thread.

Understand the law and this situation. Children are the next of kin after spouses. Nipsey wasn't married. Because Nipsey's kids are minors, their guardians become the advocates on their behalf.

Read the article and understant that strictly as a "baby mama" itself she doesn't have next of kin rights. BUT she does have it in this case based on her possibly becoming the legal guardian of his minor next of kin.

Emani won't have say-so herself until 8 years from now when she's 18. Until then her guardian does. That's why Nipsey's family wants his sister to be Emani's guardian because Lauren is already on their side and both of his next of kin could easily agree for Blacc Sam to be the administrator. Now they have a huge roadblock in that plan.

The 1st BM likely won't get to be overall administrator, but she likely will have 50% interest of the estate until her daughter turns 18 and has to do it herself. Watch who you have kids by.


Again, all this could have been avoided with a simple will where Nipsey names an executor of his estate as Blacc Sam or whoever he wanted. Now it's a free for all with legal fees eating up a huge chunk.

you are confusing terms. a parent is a parent, a guardian is someone other than a parent. the mother has custody rights as a parent, not a guardian. as far as the estate goes, the money will probably be held in trust in the estate until they reach of age. the most the mothers can do is request money from time to time if they need it to take care of the kids (child support) but it will have to be approved.

i don't have to read second hand articles when i can read and comprehend the probate statute directly. it has a specific order of appointment. it does say a guardian of a child heir can also be appointed as the administrator, but like i said, parents aren't appointed as "guardians"....they are just parents

"Guardianship is when a court orders someone other than the child’s parent to:
  • Have custody of the child; or
  • Manage the child's property (called "estate"); or
  • Both.

i do agree that a will would have helped, but even those can be contested :yeshrug:

Blacc Sam and the family have a solid chance IF the mother is deemed unfit by the court and the mother loses custody of Emani permanently. The parent automatically has legal control until they are deemed unfit and then they appoint a guardian.

But if she gets back custody of her daughter, she's the thorn in their side that has all the legal right to contest things based on the interests of her daughter. Expect her side to say Emani needs more for childcare due to Lauren presumably having acting money and thus more financially support for Kross.

Look at how long Nas' situation has dragged on and the prices she's claiming for childcare. John Singleton's family started acting a fool as soon as he went to the hospital.

The show "The Will: Family Secrets Revealed" is documents celebrities who died with the survivors didisputing the inheritance. So many died with no will and it's sad.

i mean, as long as the money is used for the kids then i dont see why any family member would be upset about it. its the kids money. and the kids share it equally, so it doesn't matter if the daughter needs more, shes only entitled to half.

You get upset if she requests a wild amount of money.

You also get upset because in every single venture that Nipsey was legally involved in, she has a vote in it and if she doesn't approve it holds everything up. Every move in every venture has to pass her desk.

It's always that one family member that throws a wrench and complicates everything after somebody dies. This is what this is looking like, although she is right to fight to make sure her child has equal representation that's not a conflict of interest. Money and blood rarely mix.

dont think its gonna go down like that, mostly because it seems as nipsey had a lot of business partners to begin with who probably have more say. for example, his brother is a co-owner of the marathon store (lets assume nip and sam owned it 50/50 cuz idk any other owners, i dont pay attention that closely). so in that scenario, at most emani's portion which is 1/4, kross portion is 1/4. that's not a controlling vote for either kid so it basically doesn't matter if the mother approves or not.

anyway this is kind of off topic for this thread so thats all i'll say

Negotiating the splits on things such as new Nipsey music, documentaries, etc is where things will get dicy. In effect she'd be negotiating on 50% behalf of Nipsey have to reach an agreement with Lauren and THEN reach an agreement with the other partners depending on the overall ownership split.

If one person in the group wants to sale or files bankrupcy, the whole group is effected and they have to re-do the splits/risk having to sale it all because some things require every stakeholder to agree. All that costs time & money.

Look at all the drama 2Pac's estate has been through with trying to release anything with Death Row/Suge, Afeni & Tom Walley all having say-so and control over the years.

This is relevant to this thread because it shows a likely pause in most if the business he was involved with because who has control and reaps financially is completely up in the air.
