John Singleton Leaves $3.8 Million Estate to Eldest Daughter Justice
May 4 2019, Published 10:42 p.m. ET
John Singleton's eldest daughter Justice, 26, will inherit his $3.8 million estate following his sudden death, RadarOnline.com can report.
In 1993, when Justice was his only child, he wrote a will that listed her as his beneficiary. As a result, he did not include any of his other six children in his last wishes.
Fortunately, however, the children were not specifically excluded and under California law may have a strong case to divide his inheritance.
As RadarOnline.com reported, the 51-year-old Boyz n the Hood director, who had quietly been battling hypertension, became sick after returning to L.A. from a trip to Costa Rica, and was hospitalized. While under medical care, he suffered a stroke, which was initially described as "mild."
After nearly two weeks on life support at L.A.'s Cedar Sinai hospital, he was taken off life support and passed on Monday, April 29.
Singleton is survived by his mother, Sheila Ward, his father, Danny Singleton and his children Justice, Maasai, Hadar, Cleopatra, Selenesol, Isis, and Seven.
