Aaron Carter's estate to go to one-year-old son Prince after singer's tragic death

Aaron Carter's estate will be left to his one-year-old son Prince after the star tragically died without a will last month.

The late singer's family have made their intentions to make sure Prince is taken care of - with Californian law stipulating that as there was no clear directive, his entire estate should go to the toddler.

Aaron - who was found dead in his bathtub at the age of 34 - left behind an estimated $550,000 in real estate and personal property, which will now fall to his son.

He died on November 5 at his home in Lancaster, California, with his exact cause of death still pending confirmation.

His twin sister, Angel, has now applied to be the administrator of his estate as the Carter family try to protect his interests.

Aaron's mother, Jane Carter, recently opened up to TMZ about her intention to try and form a relationship with Prince and Aaron's fiancée Melanie Martin, both of whom she hasn't met yet.

The matriarch also confirmed that she wants Aaron's entire estate to go to Prince, and confirmed that the rest of the family already have enough money and don't need any part of the inheritance.

On Friday Melanie shared a post on social media of the ever-growing memorial fans have left for Aaron outside his Californian property.

The devastated mum shared her own tribute to her fiance as she marked one month since he had passed away.

She wrote: "It's been a whole month since you've been gone. Not a day goes by I don't think of you. I wish you were still here, thank you everyone that came out and made this possible. We were his family through thick and thin. No matter what."

Meanwhile, Aaron's older brother, Backstreet Boys star Nick Carter, 42, has opened up to Extra about how incredibly difficult it was for him to still take to the stage and perform at London's O2 Arena just hours after learning of his brother's untimely death.

Nick was seen breaking down in tears during the show as he and bandmates Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean and Howie Dorough performed while a touching tribute played out on the screens at the iconic music venue.

Nick said: "It was very emotional for me, having my guys with me. There's the old saying, 'The show must go on,' that's been with us for years, but that night, I didn't know what to expect."

Nick's mother, Jane, also confirmed that Aaron had made an attempt to reach out to Nick in the weeks before his death, while the Backstreet Boys were on tour in Europe, but Nick hadn't been able to get in touch with him.
