14 DAY TRIAL // Despite many reports online, Bobbi Kristina insists she’s fine. It would seem that not even the trustees of the Whitney Houston estate are convinced of it, having made the move to block payments to her on claims that she’s under “undue influence.”
As we also reported a while back, shortly after the singer’s untimely death, Bobbi Kristina (Krissi, as her mother used to call her) is her sole heir.
Since then, Bobbi Kristina has been trying to forge for herself a career in TV, with the aim of launching herself as a singer sometime soon.
At the same time, there’s also been a lot of talk about how she’s neither clean nor entirely honest with her family about the company she keeps.
Consequently, the trustees of her mother’s estate have moved to block payments to her until a later date, Radar Online reports.
“The trustees of Whitney Houston's estate, including the late singer's mother, Cissy, have filed legal docs requesting that the payment schedule to Bobbi Kristina be changed as they fear the 19-year-old is under the ‘undue influence’ of unsavory people,” Radar says.
“According to court docs that were filed in Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta, Cissy Houston asserts that Bobbi Kristina ‘is a highly visible target for those who would exert undue influence over her inheritance and/or seek to benefit from respondent's resources and celebrity’,” adds the same report.
No word yet on who these people who qualify as “undue influence” might be, but speculation online says trustees might think Nick Gordon, Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend, could be one of them.
If payment to the 19-year-old isn’t pushed back, the money that Whitney put into her trust fund would soon be squandered away, trustees argue.
“The trustees are concerned because the schedule of distribution from Whitney's estate would conflict with her ‘intent to provide long-term financial security and protection for her child’,” Radar writes.
“Compliance with the provisions of the trust would defeat or substantially impair the accomplishment of the purposes of the trust, which were to provide for the proper maintenance and comfort of the respondent, and to prevent the wasting of trust assets, as evidenced by the trust's spend thrift provision,” court documents also say.
