A month has passed since then Aaron Carter was found dead in a bathtub at his home in Palmdale, California on December 5. As the investigation into his sudden death at the age of 34 continues, the late singer’s family have made the decision that Aaron’s one-year-old son, prince, will inherit his father’s vast fortune. “In California, when a parent dies intestate, the line of succession begins with the child of the deceased, followed by the surviving parent,” a representative for Aaron said HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY. “Aaron’s mother, Jane, and his family have decided that his entire estate, which is approximately $550,000, will go to his son, Prince. Aaron would want that too,” the rep added.
At the time of his death, Aaron was in a tumultuous relationship with Prince’s mother, Melanie Martin. In January 2020, Aaron proposed to Melanie YouTube live stream. In the next two years they have separated and reunited multiple times. In September, Aaron wanted to get his life back on track and voluntarily sought treatment for substance abuse. At the time, Melanie said she was struggling with postpartum depression. As a result, Prince was temporarily placed in the care of Melanie’s mother, who remains his current guardian.
Although Aaron’s mother and other family members have still not been able to meet his son, a source said HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY that the Carters “really want to have a relationship with Prince. They are determined to make this happen.” According to the source, his family “insisted” that Prince be the beneficiary of the inheritance. “His other one wants nothing more than for her son to rest in peace now. Aaron’s son Prince will always be welcome to be a part of their family.”
Prince celebrated his one-year birthday on November 22 – just three weeks after his father’s tragic death. Before his death, Aaron had planned to “shower” his beloved boy with gifts. A source previously told HollywoodLife“Aaron was really excited to see Prince on his birthday. He had said that being a father was the most amazing thing and he was really trying to get his life back on track so he could be a present father to his boy.”
