A Minnesota judge has ruled that Prince’s sister Tyka Nelson, and five half-siblings as the heirs to his huge estate.

In a ruling made public Friday, Carver County District Judge Kevin Eide declared that Prince died without a will, something Tyka assorted back in April of 2016.

There are people who filed appeals after their claims of heirship were rejected. Eide says that if the appellate courts send those cases back to him, he’ll still fully consider them. Eide also says Prince’s assets won’t be distributed without a formal court order and that nothing will be distributed that might adversely affect the claims of those with pending appeals.
