In his petition, Jarel said Coolio did not leave behind a will. He listed the musician’s kids as beneficiaries of the estate.

Jarel asked to be appointed to manage the estate to prevent “waste and/or loss of the personal property of [Coolio]. Specifically, the estate is believed to include personal property and demand deposit accounts, financial accounts, insurance policies and royalties, all of which need to be marshaled and protected on behalf of the estate.”
