,



Attached as proof of my parents’ marriage is a certified copy (except as noted) of the following documents, which I understand were obtained by my counsel, Lommen Abdo, P.A., in connection with this matter:

Exhibit C: Application for Marriage License dated October 20, 1938 and Marriage License and Certificate, dated October 25, 1938, State of Minnesota, District Court for the County of Ramsey.

Exhibit D: Mortgage Deed for Lot One (1), Block Fifteen (15), Vinton Park Addition to Minneapolis, according to the plat thereof on file and of the record in the Office of the Register of Deeds in and for said Hennepin County dated March 20, 1952 in the names of “John L. Nelson and Vivian Nelson, husband and wife.”

As stated in Exhibit D, this Lot was also known as

3728 5th Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota, which was our family home throughout my age of minority (“Nelson family home”).

Exhibit E: Mortgage Deed for Lot One (1), Block Fifteen (15), Vinton Park Addition to Minneapolis, according to the plat thereof on file and of the record in the Office of the Register of Deeds in and for said Hennepin County dated August 30, 1960.

Exhibit F: US. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE e BUREAU OF THE

CENSUS, SIXTEENTH CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES:

1940, Population Schedule, S.D. N0. 5, ED. No. 89- 134, April 15—16, 1940. (This is not a certified copy).

My parents (John L. Nelson and Vivian Nelson (Howard)) were divorced on March 15, 1957. I have a Vivid memory of testifying at a

trial or hearing at the divorce proceedings in Henncpin County court on my mother’s behalf. I will never forget it because I remember being so nervous at the time. Attached are certified copies of the following documents:

Exhibit G: Judgment and Decree (“Divorce Decree”) and Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order for Judgment in Vivian Nelson v. John Lewis Nelson, Court File No. 527037, State of Minnesota, District Court, Hennepin County.


Carver County, MN



I believe that the date of marriage (October 29, 1937) identified in Paragraph 1 of the Findings of Fact is a typographical error. It should be October 29, 1938. My mother, Vivian, would have only been 17 years old on October 29, 1937. Her birth date is October 20, 1920.

Exhibit H: Judgment and Decree, Vivian Nelson v. John Lewis Nelson, Court File No. 527037, State of Minnesota, District Court, Hennepin County (recorded with the Mortgage Deed dated August 30, 1960, Exhibit E).

7. My biological parents continued to be married to each other after I was a

born and until their divorce on March 15, 1957.

8. If it is determined for the limited purposes at this stage of these

proceedings that my biological parents were not married at the time I was born, I

submit my response to Request No. 6 and each of its respective subparts in response to

Request N0. 8 and each of its respective subparts.

9. If it is determined for the limited purposes at this stage of these

proceedings that my biological parents were not married at the time I was born, I

further declare that John L. Nelson received me into his (and my mother’s) homes—

including the Nelson family home located at 3728 5th Avenue South, Minneapolis,

Minnesota—and held me out to be his biological child from the day I was born through

my full age of minority and until the day that my father died on August 25, 2001. In

further support of my response to Request N0. 9, I declare and hereby submit and rely

upon the following:

a. I am the oldest of four children of John L. Nelson and Vivian Nelson (Howard).

b. Throughout my childhood and teenage years, my father, John L., my mother, Vivian, and my three other siblings (Norrine, Lorna, and Johnny) and I, called 3728 5th Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota “Home.” We celebrated many, if not most, holidays (like Christmas,

3


Carver County, MN

10-PR-16-46 Filed in First Judicial District Count


Easter, Thanksgiving, and Independence Day), as well as each other’s birthdays, at the Nelson family home. But if we were not celebrating together at our Home, WC were celebrating together with other family and friends.

0. My sisters and I were raised by my parents, John L. and Vivian, in the Nelson family home from approximately 1943 through October 1956, which 13 the approximate date my father decided to leave my mother and us for personal reasons

d. During the time that we were living together as family, John L. did everything a father would be expected to do with or for his child or children, including providing food, shelter and clothing, paying the bills, taking us to school and attending church, and going on family outings together. Attached as Exhibit 0 is a photograph of my mothe1 and our dog, Prince, which was taken during one of our family trips to l‘aylors Falls, Minnesota.

e. Attached as Exhibit P is a photograph of me and my mother, Vivian, when I was approximately 10 years old. It is possible that the photograph was taken by my father, but depicted in the photograph is

my father’s automobile at the time, which depicts his license plate no. Minnesota 120—697. I have attempted to obtain car ownership information from the Minnesota Department of Motor Vehicles using this license plate number, but said information is not available, at least through a license plate “lockup” search.

f. The pleadings and documents from the Estate of John Louis Nelson, Court File No. P0—01—1660, State of Minnesota, District Court Probate Division for the County of Carver, as further identified and discussed in Response to Request N0. 14.

g. The Affidavits of Heirship of Norrine P. Nelson and John R. Nelson.

h. The Affidavit of Joseph D. Camp, Jr.

10. I do not believe that this Request applies to me. If it is determined for the

limited purposes at this stage of these proceedings that my parents did not marry or

attempt to marry, I am not aware that any man (including my father, John L. Nelson)

and my biological mother acknowledged any man’s paternity of me in writing.

11. I do not believe that This Request applies to me. If it is determined for the

limited purposes at this stage of The proceedings that my parents did not marry or

, 4


Carver County, MN

10-PR-16-46

attempt to marry, I am not aware that my biologica1 mother executed a recognition of

parentage of me.

12. No other man is presumed to be my father under any of the presumptions

found in Minn. Stat. § 257.55.

13. My biological mother (Vivian Howard) was not married to any man other

than my biological father (Johfi L. Nelson) when I was born or within 280 days of my

birth.

14. On August 25, 2001, my biological father, John L. Nelson, died intestate.

On October 5, 2001, my brother, Prince Rogers Nelson, filed an Application for Ififormal

Appointment of Personal Representative (Intestate) in In re Estate of John Louis

Nelson, Court No. PO—01-1660, State of Minnesota, District Court Probate Division of

Carver County. (Exhibit I). The Application, which was apparently signed under

penalty of perjury by Prince and his counsel at the time, Traci Bfansford Bullock,

identified the following persons as the sons and daughters of John L. Nelson:

Lorna Nelson; Sharon Blakley (Nelson); Norrine Nolen (Nelson); John R. Nelson; Prince Rogers Nelson; and

Tyka Nelson

On October 5, 2001, an Order granting the Informal Appointment of Personal

Representative (Intestate), Prince Rogers Nelson, was signed, entered, issued, and filed

by the Carver County Registrar in. (Exhibit J). On November 7, 2002, Prince and his

counsel filed a Petition for an Order Allowing for Final Account and Settling Estate and

Order of Distribution, again apparently signed under the penalty of perjury by Prince.

(Exhibit K). In his Petition, Prince again identified me and my five other siblings as

Filed in First Judicial District Court 7/20/2016 2:41:31 PM‘

Carver County, MN


Carver County, MN



the only sons and daughters of John L. Nelson. On February 2, 2003, Judge Phillip T.

Kanning signed and issued an Order Allowing Final Accounting and Settling Estate and

Order for Distribution, granting Prince’s Petition, which identified me and my siblings

above, as the only sons and daughters of John L. Nelson. (Exhibit L). Duane Nelson

was not determined to be the son of John L. Nelson. My late sister, Lorna Nelson, also

submitted a sworn Affidavit in which she stated: “My father and Vivian Nelson had four

children: me, Sharon Blake [Nelson] who is 61 years old, Norrine-Nelson who is 60

years old, and John Rogers Nelson who is 57 years old.” (Exhibit M).

I also rely on additional, certified copies from In re Estate ofJohn Louis Nelson,

which are attached as a group to this Affidavit. (Exhibit N).

15. The foregoing information is not an exhaustive list or identification of all

facts in my knowledge or possession relevant to the Protocol or Request for Parentage

Information. I have additional, personal knowledge of facts and information that

conclusively establish the heirships of me, Norrine, and Johnny, and contradict the

affidavits of heirship submitted by other parties claiming a genetic relationship to the

decedent. I will provide, under oath and subject to the penalty of perjury, additional

, information, documents, and facts in ;ny possession, knowledge or control at the

appropriate time or if requested by the Special Administrator or Court.

In Re: Estate of John Louis Nelson,

Decadent

AFFIDAVIT OF LORNA NELSON

STATE OF MINNESOTA) ' )ss.

COUNTY OF HENNEPIN)

Lorna Nelson, being first duly sworn on oath, deposes and

States as follows:

1- That Decadent John Louis Nelson was my father. I am 58

years old, and.my mother’s name was Vivian Howard NElson who passed

away in 1973. My father and Vivian Nelson had four children — me,

Sharon Blakley who is 61 years old, Norrine Nolan who is 60 years

old, and John Rogers Nelson who is 57 years old. Sharon lives in

New York, John lives in Kansas City, I live in Minneapolis, and

Norrine lives in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.

2. That my fathEI's second wife was Mattie Nelson (f/k/a

Mattie Shaw) who héd two children — Prince Rogers Nelson (hereafter

referred to as Prince) and Tyka Nelson.

3. That at the time of his death, I believe I was closer to

my father than any of my other siblings.

4. That I have read the memorandum of law for this motion

with my attorney, and the information that is contained in same

which is attributed to my personal knowledge is in fact true and

accurate to the best of my personal recollection.


Carver County, MN


Carver County, MN


U;


5. That approximately four weeks before April 15, 2001, my

father came to Visit me, and he handed me a check in the amount of

$400,000 written to his order. He told me that he wanted me to

have this money; and. the reasons for this are noted. in the

memorandum of law. I present this information to the Court not

because I am asserting that I am entitled to $400,000 from the

estate, but rather to point out to the Court that my father had at

least $400,000 in cash, I believe, as of that date. Therefore, the

recent contentiofi of my half brfither Prince that my father's estate

consisted of cash from four bank accounts in the amount of $329,000

obviously doeé not seem accurate for this reason alone.

6. That I am aware of the fact that my father received a

pension in the amount of $3,000 a month from Honeywell (my father

worked at Honeywell for over 30 years), and having known my father

as I do, he was a very frugal mafi,-and I feel that there is a very

good chance that his estate has a value much greater than the

$329,000 figure that Prince has recently conveyed to my sister I

Norrine. Also, my father had very few expenses, and.at the time of

his death, he was living rent free at a home owned by my half

brother Prince.

7. That my father owned jewelry; and I believe the reasonable

value of that jewelry was at least $50,000.00.

8. That I am certain that if me and my lawyer can have access

to bank account information, information from. Honeywell, tax

information, and. information 'regarding the royalty ]1istory' of

royalty funds my father received from.music he co—wrote with


Carver County, MN

1o—PR—1‘6—46

Prince, I will have a. much‘ better idea. of my father’s asset

sitfiation at the time of his death.

9. That my sister Nbrrine contacted me on the evening of

10/15/01 and advised that Prince is now taking the position that

the cash that my father had in four bank accounts was $329,000

rather than $200 noted in his filed affidavit.

10. That I was involved in litigation with Prince back from

1987 to 1992 regarding issues as to who wrote certain music that he

claimed credit fbr, and since that time, I have had little contact

with him. For this reason and others, I have very little trust in

his actions and believe it is in my best interest and that of my

other siblings to have this estate handled by a court-appointed

personal representative rather than my half brother PriHCe.

11. That my* fatheX‘ had. other assets including' musical

instruments — an organ, tw0 pianos, and a drum set — that I believe

my‘half brother Prince used when he was learning haw to play music.

It is my reasonable assumption that these instruments could, if ultimately ordered.by the Court, result in large sums of money when

sold at auction.

12. That I am aware of the fact that my father received at

least two royalty Checks for music he co—wrote with Prince — one

draft in the amount of $92,000, another draft in the amount of

$42,000, and.numerous other drafts either annually or bi~annually.

These facts were specifically conveyed to me by my father.

COUNTY OF CARVER FIRST JUDICIAL DISTRICT

Court File No. 10~PRu16~46 In Re the Estate of:

Prince Rogers Nelson, AFFIDAVIT 0F JOSEPH D. CAMP, JR.

Decedent.

STATE OF MINNESOTA )

COUNTY OF STEARNS J) SS.

Joseph Daniel Camp, Jr., being first duly sworn, under oath, and states that the

following information is within his personal knowledge and belief:

1. I am 73 years old. I currently reside at 4360 Brookside Court, #216, Edina, MN,

55436. I have been a Minnesota resident my entire life.

2. I am a retired Director of Technologies, American Express Financial Advisers.

3. I am one of the two oldest living first cousins to Sharon Nelson, Norrine Nelson,

and John Nelson. My late mother is Juanita Mae Camp; her maiden name was

Howard. My mother was the younger sister of Vivian Nelson (Howard). My late

father is Joseph Daniel Camp, Sr.

4. Because my mother and Vivian Nelson were sisters, and we all lived in the Twin

Cities, my family was very close to the Nelson family.

5. For most of my childhood, I lived with my father and mother in St. Paul and

Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Nelson family lived in Minneapolis,.Minnesota.

6. Throughout my childhood, and specifically from 1948 through 1956, I have many

vivid and wonderful memories spending time with the Nelson family, which

consisted of John L. Nelson, father, Vivian Nelson, mother, and their children

I


Carver County, MN



(my cousins): Lorna, Sharon, Norrine, and John Jr. I called John L. Nelson

“Uncle Johnny” and Vivian Nelson “Aunt Vivian.” Of course, Lorna, Sharon,

Norrine and John J r. would call Uncle Johnny “dad” or “father,” and Aunt Vivian

“mom” or “mother.” I was particularly close to my cousins because I was

approximately the same age as John J r. and Lorna.

. During this time, we would frequently visit the Nelson family at the Nelson family

home located at 3728 5th Avenue South in Minneapolis Because my family didn’t

own a car but Uncle Johnny did, Uncle Johnny would sometimes pick us up in St.

Paul and bring us to the Nelson family home. I always looked forward to going

over to the Nelson family home because Aunt Vivian was a wonderful cook and

made delicious cakes. Uncle Johnny would typically entertain us by playing the

piano and singing songs. For my family and myself, Uncle Johnny’s piano

playing was always the highlight of our visits.

. From time to time, the Nelson family would visit my family at our home in St.

Paul. The Nelsons would arrive and leave in Uncle Johnny’s car. If I was shown a

photograph of Uncle Johnny’s car> I would recognize it.

. Whether at the Nelson family home or my family’s home, we did everything

families typically do together: eat, play games and sports (such as basketball,

softball), dancing, singing, and having a gopd time. I distinctly remember that

my father and Uncle Johnny (who were very close) would get into deep

discussions. My father and Uncle Johnny are buried next to each other at the

Oakwood Cemetery in St. Paul. Aunt Vivian is buried there too.


Carver County, MN



10.1 have at least one photograph taken from my 5‘11 year birthday' party, which was

at the Sterling Club, located on Rondo and Daie Street in St. Paul. John Jr. and

Lorna, my Nelson cousins, are depicted in thé photograph with me.

11. Our families also went to church together at a church on 5th Avenue and Lake St,

in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We also went to Pilgrim Baptist Church located in

Saint Paul, Minnesota; my mother was a member of Pilgrim. Uncle Johnny and

Aunt Vivian would arrive with their four children in Uncle Johnny’s car and we

all would attend church together. After church, we would go back to the Nelson

family home, or back to our home in Saint Paul to play games, eat, and do things

that tight families do.

12. I recall sometime around 1956 that all of the sudden, Uncle Johnny was no

longer living at the Nelson family home‘ Conversations relating to Uncle Johnny’5

whereabouts were never discussed openly when I was around.

13. Throughout my childhood and adult life, and until the day Uncle Johnny died,

Uncle Johnny held Lorna, Sharon, Norrine, and John Jr. out to be his children

and he was a loving father and great uncle.

Re: Heirship Claim of Sharon Louise Nelson

Dear Mr. Gislason:

Thank you for submitting the Affidavit of Heirship of Sharon Louise Nelson.

With respect to the Protocol adopted by the Court, the Special Administrator’s goal is to apply existing

Minnesota law equally to all persons claiming to potentially be an heir of the Decadent. Such relevant

law includes the Minnesota Probate Code (Minn. Stat. Ch. 524), the Minnesota Parentage Act (Minn. Stat. §§ 257.0] through 257.75) and Minnesota common law.

Under Minnesota law, if it is determined that Decadent is not the father of any living children (or their

descendants), then Decedent’s siblings and half-siblings (and descendants of any deceased siblings and

half-siblings) may be determined to be heirs, in the event no Will is found. Minn. Stat. § 5242—1036).

To be a sibling or half- sibling, a person must share at least one genetic parent with Decedent. Id.

Because they were married when Decedent was born, Mattie Della (Shaw) (“Mattie”) and John Lewis

Nelson (“John”) are presumed to be Decadent 5 genetic parents. Minn. Stat. § 257.55 subd. 1(a)'

Only a very limited group of persons have standing to challenge that presumption, and in any event,

the time to make such a challenge passed long ago. Minn. Stat. § 257.57, subd. 1(b). As such, there is

an irrebuttable presumption that John and Mattie are Decedent’s genetic parents. Id.; Minn. Stat.

§ 524.1.201(22) and (23); see also In re Estate ofJotham, 722 N.W.2d 447, 455-56 (2006). Thus, to

potentially qualify as an heir of Decedent as a sibling or half-sibling, the claimant must be a

descendant of either Mattie or John (or both).

The materials provided by your client under oath confirm that she was born during the marriage of John and Vivian Nelson. An irrebuttable presumption exists that she 15 John’ s daughter. As such, it is

the Special Administrator’s determination that Sharon Louise Nelson IS Decedent 5 half— sibling as a

7 Further, as part of Mattie and John’s divorce, a Minnesota court adjudicated that they _were

Decedent’s parents.
