Officially, Jim Morrison left a bare bones will –- just two pages long –- that was intended to tie up his estate’s loose ends should he die. Specifically, according to Medium, he left his cash and his stake in The Doors to his girlfriend at the time, Pamela Courson. That was hardly the end of it, however, as several women claimed that Morrison had fathered their children, and Morrison’s own bandmates claimed that he owed them money for cash advances.

Things got even more complicated when Courson died three years later, childless and without a will. The assets passed to her parents, according to Tower Street Finance, but then Morrison’s parents claimed their son was incompetent when he wrote his will, and that it was invalid. The two sides later settled out of court.

That still wasn’t the end of it, however. As The Wealth Advisor notes, when Morrison’s parents died, their share of his estate went to his siblings. At least some of Courson’s parents’ share of Morrison’s estate has also gone to Pamela’s siblings.
