Quincy Jones III to Run Father's Estate After Rashida Jones, Uncle Decline
Quincy Jones III will manage his late father's estate after his sister Rashida Jones and uncle Richard Jones both declined the job. Court documents filed Friday show the music legend had named his brother Richard as his first choice to handle his affairs after death.
Quincy Jones III will serve as the executor of his legendary father's estate after two family members turned down the responsibility, according to new court filings.
The music icon had originally named his brother Richard Jones as his first choice to manage his estate after death. But Richard decided he didn't want the job. Quincy Jones then listed either his son Quincy III or daughter Rashida as backup options.
Rashida Jones, the well-known actress from "Parks and Recreation" and "The Office," also declined to serve as executor. That left Quincy III to step up and handle his father's business affairs.
Quincy Jones died recently surrounded by his seven children, including Rashida, Quincy III, and five others ranging in age from 31 to 69. During his career, Jones produced Michael Jackson's biggest albums, worked with Frank Sinatra, and became one of the most successful figures in entertainment history.
As executor, Quincy III will oversee how his father's money, property, and valuable music rights get distributed to family members and beneficiaries.
This decision will determine how one of music's biggest fortunes gets distributed. Quincy Jones worked with Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, and other superstars during his decades-long career, likely leaving behind significant wealth and valuable music rights.
The court will need to officially approve Quincy III as executor before he can begin managing the estate's assets.
