Whitney Houston didn't have a Trust Agreement at the center of her estate plan. She executed a Will in 1993 and allegedly updated in 2001. After her death the IRS assessed an $11 million dollar tax bill but settled out at $2 million because of poor tax planning.

Bobbi Kritina was the beneficiary of record but she died shortly after without a trust as well.
