McNair left no will, wife to oversee estate
According to court documents, slain former NFL quarterback Steve McNair didn’t leave a will and therefore a judge in Nashville has ruled that his wife Mechelle will oversee his estate.
Davidson County Probate Judge Randy Kennedy granted Mechelle McNair’s request to administer the estate and gave her 60 days to file an inventory of her late husband’s assets. She says in court documents that she did not know her late husband’s worth, but documents contend it is “of sufficient size to be administered.”
Police say McNair was shot to death on July 4 by a girlfriend who later turned the gun on herself. Nashville police have ruled it a murder-suicide.
Mechelle McNair listed herself and her two sons, Tyler and Trenton McNair, as the heirs to the estate. McNair also has two other sons from a previous relationship.
Without knowing the full details of this situation, it’s not fair for me to comment on McNair’s financial situation. But I can’t help but feel happy that McNair’s wife and sons are now in control of his estate. Nothing will bring back their husband and father, but at least everyone is financially taken care of for the foreseeable future.
There is further proof that the guy was irresponsible, a bad husband, a bad Father and a bad Son.
I don’t care what he did on the field……….he was a bad Father.
A disgrace
The problem I have with this is that anyone worth that kind of money should have had his estate planned with a will and provisions to manage the tax repercussions, usually done with a sizeable life insurance policy. Now of course, being that he has 2 other sons, the estate will be contested and lawyers will soak up a huge chunk of whatever he’s got, along with the government.
Although Steve left no will. he still consider the other 2 boys as his sons. So why now do you want a test to see if they are his.You should have done that when Steve were alive.And how you not know that Steve were not seeing someone, if he was not with you 24/7.Anyone could have saw through that.I quiet show he were the other boys well off since they were his frist children.Get a grip.
