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.
She likely wouldn't get to be overal administrator, but she likely will have 50% interest of the estate until her daughter turns 18 and has to do it herself.
Again, all this could have been avoided with a simple will.
you are confusing terms. a parent is a parent, a guardian is someone other than a parent. the mother has rights as a mother, 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:i do agree that a will would have helped, but even those can be contested
Guardianship - guardianship_famlaw_selfhelp
- Have custody of the child; or
- Manage the child's property (called "estate"); or
- Both.
Nipsey was supposed to be at this meeting
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.
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.
They have different daddiesNot crazy foreal..whatever Nip and Sam got runnin through they veins(aww man) she aint got.she regular.act ,talk regular and all. Extra hood.
T
They have different daddy's.
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.
Their lil sister Samantha has a different daddyNipsey & Sam have the same mother and father.
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
She from Crenshaw and Slauson Nip from the 60s nerd ass boy go outside...
