News, James Brown's children challenge will. (singer, Sinatra, document, 2007)

AIKEN, S.C. (AP) — Five of James Brown's children say their late father's will should be invalidated because his former advisers used undue influence to get him to create charitable trusts that the advisers would profit from, according to court documents filed this week.

The children were largely left out of the financial portion of the will, which leaves the bulk of the soul singer's money to trusts set up to educate Brown's grandchildren and needy kids.

Wills are routinely challanged these days. Probably because so people frequently are successful at it.

He should have included a clause in his will that said, if anyone contests the will or fights about it they are disinherited automatically. Sinatra did that when he died.
