Dana filed a petition in Los Angeles alleging that Adria and Annakim have made it hard for her to manage the estate, she’s also asking that decisions being made should be agreed upon by all parties.
Dana also says that Adria’s “erratic behavior” held up the release of Petty’s Greatest Hits release and the 25th anniversary of re-release of Wallflowers.
A petition was also filed by Adria alleging that Dana was keeping her and Annakim from being involved in decisions concerning Petty’s estate and not putting Petty’s “artistic properties” into an LLC as the will states.
Tom Petty passed away on October 2, 2017. The singer had been taking several pain medications, including Fentanyl and Oxycodone, to treat a fractured hip and other issues.
