With DMX not leaving a will at the time of his tragic death, much about his estate is still left to be decided. According to Page Six, various members of the Simmons family have already legally applied to be the administrators of his estate.
DMX’s fiancée Desiree Lindstrom recently applied to become an administrator and be declared his “common-law wife” through the legal system, but Judge Helen Blackwood shot her petition down.
Lindstrom has a 6-year-old son named Exodus with X and if she was granted “common-law wife” status, she would have been granted full access to the estate and control all future earnings from music.
An official estate must be set up to distribute the profits DMX will posthumously earn from his music career. Three of the Yonkers legend’s sons from his marriage to Tashera Simmons have also petitioned to become administrators (Xavier, 28, Tacoma, 21 and Sean, 19 ). Daughters Sasha Simmons and Jada Oden from separate relationships have also filed on behalf of the courts.
“There is no will from DMX and that’s a big problem,” a Page Six source relayed. “This is a difficult situation because there are a number of people vying to be named administrators. His fiancée Desiree tried to muscle in by asking the court to be named his common-law wife, which means she would have taken precedence over his children. But the court refused.”
The next court hearing regarding DMX’s estate is scheduled for July 15.

DMX — born Earl Simmons — passed away at 50 years old on April 9 from a massive heart attack that was reportedly triggered by a drug overdose a week earlier.
Swizz Beatz took on the executive producer role to see his close friend’s vision through and released DMX’s Exodus album on May 28 via Def Jam Records.
Not true. He left behind them some aluminum foil, a lighter, a spoon, and some residue. But as far as X’s Estate goes. You have a better chance trying to teach Mayweather how to read then ever getting X’s Estate after he smoked it up. (sorry, gotta be honest here.)
The moment they find out he has more debts than assets they’ll all scramble back to their golddigger moms. Seriously, if you make 17 kids on an overpopulated world like this, it’s better he kicked the bucket before he made another one. Nothing as sad as a deeply religious junk who can’t keep his dik in his pants.
I mean I doubt DMX was completely broke when he died even though he had an expensive habit…I’m not saying hes a multi millionaire but I think he was living comfortable. His family should sell the property of they want some good money they deserve it
They also get money off future proceeds as well as his publishing. File for bankruptcy, clear his debt, keep the assets. Financial literacy is clutch
Stop being greedy
Each of his 50some kids deserve a slice of the moolah!
Wtf? Da Brat is DMX daughter? That’s crazy
You’re retarded huh?
No disrespect but from what I understand he didn’t really have much of an estate to manage…
