Tenisha Warner Sues for $1.2 Million From Family Trust Over Alleged Prenup Breach

Summary
Tenisha Warner is seeking at least $1.2 million from the Warner family trust, suing Pamela Warner as successor trustee one year after Malcolm-Jamal Warner's death at 54.
The lawsuit alleges Malcolm-Jamal Warner failed to maintain a $1 million term life insurance policy on his own life — and one on Tenisha Warner's life — as required by their premarital agreement.
In a statement released after the filing, Tenisha Warner said she had spent the past year trying to settle the estate privately and that her husband had been working to replace an estate plan created in 1996.
CBS Mornings aired an interview recorded before the suit became public in which she described managing grief and single motherhood, while Pamela Warner later posted on Instagram about loss and denounced unnamed people as "cruel, evil, and greedy."
