"Under Minnesota law, a person can file a will with probate court in secret. If Prince did so, the fact one exists would become public once a death certificate is filed, but the medical examiner has not yet issued one for Prince. An autopsy was conducted Friday and his remains were cremated Saturday."

Prince seems like the kinda guy who might've filed a will w/the court in secret. he also seems like the type whose will might call for his estate to be held in a secret trust.

again - it's not at all uncommon for a will to be located weeks after a person's death. and considering Prince just died less than a week ago nothing unusual has occurred yet. even his sister running to court w/this filing is not unusual. AFAIK she and Prince weren't bosom buddies - she wasn't his confidante. she also wasn't his lawyer or manager. so it's entirely possible she doesn't know as much about his biz as it may seem. it's also possible that she has (shady?) ppl in her ear encouraging her to run to court w/this filing trying to secure her position in the fight over P's estate if he died intestate. this filing in and of itself is not necessarily proof that P died w/o a will. don't read too much into it.
