# Wallace estate legal dispute > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/wallace-estate-legal-dispute > Updated: 2026-08-22T23:01:04.000Z. Sources: 12. Developments: 2. Christopher “C. J.” Wallace Jr., son of the late rapper The Notorious B.I.G., has filed a legal challenge against the amended will of his grandmother, Voletta Wallace. The dispute concerns a modification made on February 6, 2025, approximately 15 days before Wallace passed away at age 78. A 2020 version of the will reportedly designated Wallace’s grandchildren as beneficiaries of an estate comprising jewelry, furs, music awards, and property in Jamaica. However, the contested 2025 amendment allegedly transfers these assets to Wayne Barrow, a former manager of The Notorious B.I.G. who currently serves as the estate's executor. In court filings, Wallace Jr. alleges that his grandmother’s declining health and use of multiple medications rendered her unable to make rational decisions at the time of the modification. He also asserts that the signatures on the amended document are “facially inconsistent.” Wallace Jr. is seeking to invalidate the recent changes and remove Barrow as the executor. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-22: Christopher Wallace Jr. challenges grandmother’s amended will Christopher Wallace Jr. is challenging a last-minute change to his late grandmother Voletta Wallace’s will, which transferred assets to The Notorious B.I.G.’s former manager, Wayne Barrow. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/christopher-wallace-jr-challenges-grandmothers-amended-will ### 2026-08-20: Christopher Wallace Jr. challenges grandmother's will Christopher Wallace Jr. is challenging his late grandmother Voleta Wallace’s will, alleging it was modified 15 days before her death to favor former manager Wayne Barrow over his grandchildren. 10 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/christopher-wallace-jr-challenges-grandmothers-will --- Cite as: Wallace estate legal dispute.
