(Newser) – Whitney Houston left her entire estate to her 19-year-old daughter. An undisclosed amount of money will be placed in trust until Bobbi Kristina Brown turns 21. She'll receive a portion of the inheritance then, more at the age of 25, and the rest at 30. The trust administrator—the singer's sister-in-law and manager Patricia Houston—can release money earlier for tuition and the purchase of a house, reports AP. Houston's will, revealed in an Atlanta court, was written while she was married to Bobby Brown about a month before the birth of the couple's only child. Houston died in a bathtub in a Beverly Hills hotel last month. Her daughter is grappling with some of the same substance abuse demons that haunted her mom, say friends.

I don't believe it will be all that much money. She borrowed heavily against future earnings and she didn't write any of the songs she recorded, so her biggest potential for future earnings lay in touring which obviously won't happen now...  :  (
