PONTIAC, Mich. — Two sons of the late singer Aretha Franklin gave opposing opinions Monday about the Queen of Soul's final wishes, testifying in an unusual trial that will determine whether a 2014 handwritten document found in couch cushions will lead her estate. If so, it could trump a 2010 handwritten will that was found in a locked cabinet at the same time. There are differences between the documents, though they both appear to indicate that Franklin's four sons would share income from music and copyrights. That version crossed out White’s name as executor of the estate and named another son, Kecalf Franklin, in his place. Kecalf Franklin, 53, said he doesn't consider it unusual that important papers like a will would be discovered in the living room.
