Prince's legal bills hit USD 2 million

London: Legal bills for sorting out legendary singer Prince's estate have already hit almost USD 2 million, figures submitted to court by its special administrators have shown.

The administrator overseeing the affairs of the singer, who died from an accidental overdose in April without leaving a will, is seeking permission from the courts to pay several law firms for work, including a huge USD 1.9 million for just one company, the Stinson Leonard Street firm, reported Female First.

Smaller amounts to various other lawyers add up to almost USD 100,000, with the figures submitted correct up until June 30.

The administrators, Bremer Trust, have also asked the court to approve their own fees, but those amounts were filed under seal, meaning they are not made available publicly.
