A new development has arisen in the legal battle concerning the inheritance of singer Tapani Kansa. Reports indicate that the Kymeenlaakson District Court has not yet received a response to the lawsuit filed by Kansa's three children against Nina af Enehjelm, the person they believe should pay them approximately 720,000 euros as part of their inheritance. The delay in response is attributed to af Enehjelm's request for an extension until March 31, which the court has granted, citing that the original deadline was too tight.

The case stems from a real estate transaction where af Enehjelm purchased all shares of the Villa Lyökkiniemi in Westend for 840,000 euros in 2021. Following Kansa's death, af Enehjelm listed the property for sale at a price of 2.8 million euros, which was taken off the market in January. However, the children contend that the proposed payment to them from af Enehjelm does not adequately reflect their rightful share of the inheritance, leading to the ongoing lawsuit. The court's decision to allow extra time has added another layer to this contentious issue.

As the case progresses, it reflects on broader themes of inheritance disputes within familial contexts when celebrity estates are involved. Such disputes can often garner significant media attention, highlighting the challenges faced by individuals involved, especially when public figures' legacies and relationships come into play. The outcome of this case could set a precedent for how similar disputes are handled in the future, both legally and socially, particularly in the realm of celebrity estates.
