Estate War Erupts Over Tony! Toni! Toné! Singer's Millions
7 Mar
Summary
- Family is fighting over the $700K estate of D'Wayne Wiggins.
- D'Wayne's daughter claims his niece illegally withdrew $20K.
- The family questions the validity of the will due to medication.
Nearly a year after his passing, a contentious battle has erupted among the family of D'Wayne Wiggins, the musician known for his work with Tony! Toni! Toné!, concerning his estate valued at approximately $700,000.
Court documents reveal that D'Wayne's daughter, Ilahn Wiggins, has accused her father's niece, Veleta Savannah, of improperly seizing control of the estate. Ilahn asserts that Veleta informed D'Wayne's children of her trusteeship and prevented them from accessing his home.
Further allegations from Ilahn include Veleta's purported withdrawal of $20,000 from D'Wayne's bank account using a Power of Attorney. The children contest the legitimacy of this action and question the timing and circumstances surrounding a potentially altered final will.
Specifically, the children suspect that the singer's final will was drafted while he was undergoing end-of-life care and under the influence of heavy medication, which they believe may have compromised his mental state. Veleta disputes this, stating D'Wayne intended to disinherit his children.
