EXCLUSIVE: How Ozzy Osbourne’s Family is Set to Be Ripped Apart By $230Million Inheritance Battle

With assets spanning continents and decades of royalties still pouring in, attorneys say the battle over his estate could be lengthy and divisive.

"Ozzy’s estate is complex," said legal analyst Adam Jones, 54, of HD Claims. "While Sharon is likely to inherit at least 50 percent, there are six children involved, and any disputes could delay things for months."

"Unless Ozzy made clear arrangements in a will or trust, UK and US laws would assume his spouse inherits the bulk, but all children would have a claim," Jones continues. "In blended families, this often leads to rows if things aren’t watertight."

Sources also tell us at stake is not just property and cash, but future revenue from Ozzy's vast catalog. His wealth includes royalties from more than 100 million records sold, licensing rights to The Osbournes reality TV show, and merchandise and brand deals.

Jones added: "Future royalties will continue to roll in, and how those are split could become a sticking point. These intellectual property rights are sometimes worth more in death than life."

Those close to the family fear underlying tensions could now explode. One family friend, speaking on condition of anonymity, said: "Ozzy always wanted peace in the family, but things have been tense behind closed doors for years.

"The money could blow it all up."

The rocker's three eldest children from his first marriage have historically been less visible in the public spotlight. Jessica and Louis have both kept low profiles, while Elliot has reportedly had a strained relationship with the family for decades.
