Jane Schenck just lost her legal fight over late pop star Aaron Carter’s estate—and it’s a major loss. A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge denied her case against Aaron’s ex-fiancée Melanie Martin, according to court docs obtained by TMZ. So much for the mother’s attempt to take control of her son’s affairs from beyond the grave.
The specifics? Jane was basically trying to challenge Melanie’s claim to Aaron’s estate, but the judge wasn’t having it. The court sided with Melanie, shutting down Jane’s fight completely. This is a huge win for Aaron’s ex, who’s been battling his family over his legacy since his death.
The whole thing is messy—family drama mixed with money, grief, and legal warfare. But the judge has spoken. Case closed. Melanie keeps her grip on Aaron’s estate, and Jane walks away empty-handed.
