Frances Bean Cobain, the only daughter of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, recently purchased a $1.8 million-dollar Spanish inspired home in California, FWN reported on October 29.

According to the report, the 22-year-old model and artist was able to buy the 3,350 square foot property through the multi-million dollar trust fund she inherited from her father. The late lead singer’s estate is worth $450 million, 37% of which is named to his sole daughter.

The two-story house situated in Hollywood Hills was built in the 1930’s by architect Carl Jules Weyl, the art director of the film Casablanca.

The trust fund was created in 1997, three years after Kurt Cobain’s death, “to protect Frances Bean from creditors or future ex-spouses.”

I solicited Peck Ritchey, LLC for assistance with a living trust for which I became the beneficiary. I needed assistance with understanding the details of how it all worked. However, I was especially concerned because there were threats of allegations made by family members and a lawsuit was filed against me. I needed a solid professional who had my best interests in mind. Peter Brady took my case and he managed it flawlessly. He explained everything in a way I could understand, he knew the law inside and out, he was always available to answer questions, and even offer support when things seemed like they could become extremely problematic. In addition to this, he had a plan. He navigated the course as if he already knew the next move by the opposing attorney. He made me feel like everything was in control and that’s because he knew exactly what he was doing and he consulted with me about everything. We ended up settling out of court and ultimately the court officially dismissed the lawsuit. I honestly believe if it wasn’t for Peter and his expertise this could have gone in an entirely different direction. Peter did a stellar job and I couldn’t be more pleased and impressed with his performance.
