Aaron Carter’s family wants his son to inherit his fortune | Entertainment

Aaron Carter’s family wants his son to inherit his fortune.

The late singer’s mom, Jane Carter, told TMZ that even though she has yet to meet her 12-month-old grandson, Prince, she wants him to be the beneficiary of his father’s assets because the family “doesn’t need the money.”

Jane added that she wants to have a relationship with her grandson and Aaron’s on-and-off fiancée Melanie Martin, who currently has custody of the children.

After Aaron, 34, was found dead in the bathtub of his California home on Nov. 5, his mom asked her daughter Angel, Aaron’s twin, to file a petition to serve as his Administrator of the Estate, believed to be worth $500,000.

Melanie told Us Weekly last week about the financial arrangements: “I don’t want any problems or stress with Aaron’s estate.

“I just want Prince to be taken care of and that Aaron’s legacy lives on… Whoever wants to be in Prince’s life has access to Prince’s life.”

Aaron’s cause of death has not been determined pending toxicology results.

But the singer, who has battled drug addiction and mental health issues for years, was reportedly found with pills and canisters of compressed air.

His Backstreet Boys singer brother Nick Carter, 42, said it was “tough” to perform on stage the day after Aaron Carter was found dead.

He spoke to Extra about the aftermath of his brother’s death and how his bandmates supported him when he decided to sing in London hours after his death.

Nick said: “It was very emotional for me to have my people with me. There’s an old saying, ‘the show must go on’, that’s been with us for years, but that night, I didn’t know what was going to happen.

“I didn’t know what was going to happen on that stage. It was absolutely gratifying to get the reaction from the fans and it meant a lot to me.”

Nick was seen sobbing at a Backstreet Boys concert in November, when the group played “No Place” in tribute to the late singer while photos of the siblings played on screen.

He posted his condolences on Instagram ahead of the show, saying: “My heart is broken. Despite my complicated relationship with my brother, my love for him has never faded.

“I kept holding out hope that one day he would somehow find his way to health and finally find the help he desperately needed. Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for the loss, but the truth is, addiction and mental illness are the real culprits.”
