  Kurt Cobain's estate was divided among various family members including Love and his daughter Frances Bean upon his death.

It is being alleged that individuals in charge of the estate used Cobain's, Love's and their daughter's social security numbers to steal and launder more than $30 million and $500 million in real estate. The case is currently being investigated.myFoxla: Love Says Cobain's Estate Looted (April 7, 2009) PerezHilton: Courtney Love Lost Her Money (April 7, 2009)
