The "Godfather of Soul," the "Hardest Working Man in Show Business," "Mr. DynOmite, Mr. Out O Sight," James Brown died on December 25th, 2006, but his estate fiasco unfortunately continues to this very day --- 8 years later.
The great entertainer's prior estate planning not only cost his estate multiple millions of dollars in estate taxes, it also is costing the estate wasted millions of dollars in estate administration and litigation fees, as well as causing his remains the indignity of sitting around for three months before burial.
By the time the dust settles in this brutal estate fiasco, which will probably still be a few years "get on up" the road, marginal amounts of funds will be available to implement James Brown's vision and desire of funding scholarships for poor children in South Carolina's Aiken County and his home town of Augusta, Georgia.
