Robert Jeffs, the independent attorney appointed to Coleman's case Monday by a Utah judge, told the AP that Coleman specified in his 2005 will that there be no funeral services. Jeffs was assigned to determine whether Coleman's ex-wife, Shannon Price, or his ex-girlfriend, Anna Gray, is the rightful administrator of his estate.
Both women have filed claims stating they are executor. Gray is named in the 2005 will, according to her petition, while Price is named in a handwritten note from 2007.
