The Bloomfield Township police department is investigating a theft from Aretha Franklin's estate,
At the time of her death, she still owned her 4,148-square-foot Colonial-style home in Bloomfield Township, which has drawn scrutiny by the Internal Revenue Service.
Franklin's estate is locked in a battle with Franklin’s 61-year-old son, Edward, who was born when the singer was just 14.
Edward, The Blast reports, has been trying to get a court order to force the estate to produce monthly financial documents to Franklin’s heirs. But the estate won't turn over the information because, it claims, that could negatively impact the criminal investigation involving missing assets from the estate.
In December, the IRS filed a claim in Oakland County Probate Court, alleging the Franklin estate owed millions in back taxes and penalties
the late singer owed more than $6.3 million in back taxes from 2012 to 2018 and $1.5 million in penalties.
