After the untimely death of Tupac’s mother, Afeni Shakur, fans and family alike pondered the fate of Tupac’s estate.

TMZ reports that the rapper’s mom ensured Tupac’s finances and musical catalog were properly handled.

Afeni set up a trust to control all of Tupac’s music rights, and a rep for his estate told TMZ the paperwork was done “flawlessly.”

Shakur was very specific about heirs, and the money is going to select charities and family.

In the midst of tragedy, it’s beautiful to know Tupac’s mother did everything in her power to make sure her son’s legacy lives on.
