Carlin Q Williams sees dollar signs after mom admits to one night stand with the singer.
|||Prince fathered a child who is currently in jail on a weapons charge.
So claims Carlin Q Williams, who announced that he is the late musician’s biological son and, therefore, “sole surviving legal heir”. Carlin has requested a blood test to prove his claim.
Williams' mother, Marsha Henson, filed an afidavit on Tuesday in which she claims she had sex with Prince in a Kansas City motel in 1976. Nine months later, she gave birth to Carlin Q. Williams on April 8, 1977, she claims.
Prince died at the age of 57 on April 21.
The music legend’s estate is currently being untagled by a team of lawyers, but already his music catalogue alone is believed to be worth around $500-million. The lawyers charged with wrapping up his estate have already obtained a blood sample to check Prince’’s DNA against an inevitable slew of paternity claims.
It was recently revealed that around 700 people have come forward to stake a claim towards the 'Raspberry Beret' singer's estate.
Harvey Morse, of Morse Genealogical Services, is currently trying to establish the legitimacy of the claims of each person who has come forward, with the late star's £200 million estate set to be divided between his siblings.
He explained: "Our phone has been ringing off the hook, I would say we have received between 600 and 700 calls.
"They run the gamut, literally from 'We lived in the same area so we must be related', to 'We have pictures of Prince at our family reunion'."
However, Morse also said he preferred dealing with documented evidence, rather than with some of the questionable links that have been put forward by people claiming to be related to the chart-topping musician.
He said: "I like official documents. Birth, marriage, death, divorce certificates, census records, that sort of thing - papers that were drawn up without any thought of this eventuality."
Minnesota law states that all siblings, irrespective of whether they are full or half, are entitled to an equal share of Prince's estate.
