Contrary to what most people think, it’s not just average and ordinary people who end up in probate. The rich and famous fail to plan as much as the rest of us. Notable celebrities such as Prince, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, and Sonny Bono all had their estates end up in probate after their deaths.
