James Brown's Body Closer to Burial

Posted: Feb 21, 2007 COLUMBIA, S.C. - The six adult children of singer James Brown have agreed with his partner, Tomi Rae Hynie, on where the entertainer will be buried.

Hynie's attorney, Robert Rosen, said the resting place is being kept confidential at the request of Brown's children. Rosen said the burial may take place in the "next few days."

Brown died Christmas Day at age 73. His body is being kept in a confidential location.

Meanwhile, a South Carolina judge in a ruling made public Tuesday said the trustees accused of mismanaging Brown's estate will keep handling his property and trust, but a special administrator will oversee their work.

The singer's six adult children were in an Aiken County court Feb. 9 in an attempt to remove three trustees who are handling the late singer's estate. They claim it has been mismanaged.

The children and Hynie had both asked the court to appoint a special administrator to oversee the trust.

Brown's children claimed in court papers last month that trustees had "mismanaged and otherwise dissipated assets and income of the trust to the detriment of James Brown " and that some of Brown's assets were in danger of being "lost or dissipated or stolen."

The trust is said to contain most of Brown's primary assets, including the late singer's music rights and his 60-acre Beech Island home, and is separate from Brown's will filed last week. The will called for personal possessions such as clothes, jewelry, boats and automobiles to be divided among the children.
