Earlier this month, Kern County Counsel filed a petition arguing the decision over who is the rightful heir to Manson's estate should be made by a Kern County court. 

CNN is reporting a lawyer representing a man who claims to be Manson's son was in court on Friday which further complicates matters.

Manson died at Mercy Hospital Downtown on November 19.
