Prince’s six houses to be sold

London, Aug 14 (PTI) Six of singer Prince's properties have been approved for sale by a court.

Bremer Trust, the company overseeing the affairs of the late singer, who died from an overdose in April without leaving a will, had sought permission from a court to sell some of the "Diamonds and Pearls" hitmaker's real estate, and a judge has now agreed that some can be offloaded, reported Female First.

Judge Kevin Eide gave permission for six out of 15 properties on a list submitted by the company to be listed on August 26, once Prince's half-brother, Alfred Jackson, has had a chance to tour them.

Most of the properties are situated in Prince's home town of Chanhassen, Minnesota and include houses, vacant lots and a small commercial building estimated to be worth around USD 44 million.

A 156-acre plot on the shores of Lakes Ann and Lucy has been valued at USD 13.7 million by the Carver County assessor's office.

The list also includes a property in the Turks and Caicos islands.
