Headline: Aretha Franklin's handwritten will found in couch ruled valid

Caption: When the Queen of Soul died in August 2018, her family believed she didn't leave a will and that her assets would be divided equally between her four sons, Clarence, Kecalf and Edward Franklin, and Ted White Jr. However, in May 2019, two handwritten documents, neither of which were traditionally executed by a lawyer, were discovered in her home in Detroit. One found in a locked cabinet was dated 2010 and the second, dated 2014, was found in a spiral notebook wedged underneath a sofa cushion.
