Who Inherited Muddy Waters Estate? The Legacy Of A Blues Legend

Muddy Waters’ daughter, Mercy Morganfield, was appointed administrator of his estate in late 2014. This followed a petition by the heirs to the court to reopen the estate and gain a better understanding of the royalties that had been managed by the Cameron Organization. The aim was to ensure that the estate’s finances were transparent and that the heirs received their rightful share of royalties.

Mercy Morganfield, being the daughter of the legendary bluesman, was chosen to oversee the estate. This decision was made after the heirs felt the need for greater transparency in managing the royalties. The Cameron Organization had been managing the royalties for some time, but the heirs wanted a clearer picture of the finances. Reopening the estate and appointing Mercy Morganfield as administrator was deemed the best way to achieve this goal. It was a positive step towards ensuring the estate was managed fairly and efficiently, benefiting all the heirs who were entitled to a share of the royalties.
