Personal possessions belonging to the late soul icon James Brown are to be auctioned off to pay taxes owed by his estate. Brown died in Atlanta, Georgia, in December 2006, throwing the future of his trusts into turmoil.
The star's six children, along with his fourth wife Tomi Rae Hynie, are all contesting the will, which called for money to be set aside to educate his grandchildren with a proportion given to charity.
Brown's descendants have also accused several estate trustees of misappropriating funds - which are said to be missing millions of dollars.
And now much of Brown's property is set to be sold off to pay debts incurred since his death.
Lawyers handling the case have refused to specify which items will go under the hammer, but have asked Brown's family to provide a list of things they do not want auctioned off.
Robert Rosen, attorney for Hynie, says, "It's easier to divide money, and we don't know who will be getting what."
