KEY POINTS:
Nearly three weeks after James Brown's funeral, the "Godfather of Soul" is yet to be buried, and his former partner is contesting his will in a bid to receive half of his estate.
Brown's body is being kept in a temperature-controlled room at his home in South Carolina in the bronze and gold-plated coffin used for his funeral in Augusta, Georgia last month.
The family is building a mausoleum at the home on Beech Island and would bury Brown when it was finished, likely next month.
