Quincy Jones III plans to serve as the executor of his late father’s estate, according to a new court document … this after his sister Rashida and his uncle Richard Jones turned it down.
According to Friday’s filing, Jones named Richard Jones as his first choice of executor … but Richard decided he didn’t want to do it.
His second choice was with either Quincy III or Rashida … and, ultimately, Quincy III stepped up while Rashida stepped back.
The next hearing date is scheduled for May 11.
As you know … Quincy passed away in 2024 at the age of 91 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
Rashida paid tribute to her late father shortly after he died … calling him a “genius” in her heartfelt message.
Jones’ mansion hit the L.A. real estate market for $60 million last spring … and, while the price has been chopped down to $40 million, it still hasn’t sold.
