Ronald and Norma Hale claim intestate possession of their daughter's documents, according to the Tennessee Star, and have argued that they have the right to provide any party they see fit ownership of the materials. They have further indicated that they would give those materials to the children who attended the school.
Intestacy laws establish an order of priority for the inheritance of a diseased person's assets. If the courts accept their position, it would skirt state law, which generally considers materials such as the manifesto a record of public interest, the Star noted.
