Documents were filed late Friday afternoon in Nashville probate court which claim a Mississippi woman named Clover Lee has a 17-year-old daughter referred to as "J.N.L." who is seeking part of the late Tennessee Titan's fortune. Her attorney issued the following statement: "We expect that questions of paternity and heirship will soon be conclusively answered by DNA testing which is being conducted." Lee lives in McNair's hometown of Mount Olive, Miss. It was unclear why she waited until three months after McNair's death to file.
McNair's estate is estimated to be worth $19.6 million and is currently being divided among his widow and four sons. So far McNair's widow, Mechelle McNair, will get 40 percent of the estate, while the four or five children will get the rest.
Also on Friday, a judge ruled that McNair's portion of his Nashville restaurant, the Gridiron 9, can be sold, even though one of the other owners, Raymond White, opposes.
