A French court has frozen real estate assets and royalties of French legend Johnny Hallyday while it deliberates on the rock star's will.
The singer died of cancer in December and left everything to his fourth wife Laeticia and their adopted daughters.
French media speculate that the rock star left up to €100m (£86m).
A posthumous album, expected to be a big seller, is due out in 2018.
The court in Nanterre ruled against the the rock star's two children from a previous marriage and relationship - singer David Hallyday, 51, and actress Laura Smet, 34 - having a say on the album.
