A judge recently confirmed that Prince did not have a will at the time of his death.
That could mean a potentially "messy" future for the musician's $250 million estate.

"Everybody, when you get to a certain point in your life, should have an estate plan," emphasizes David T. DuFault, estate planning and business law attorney at Sodoma Law.
