Court Denies Genetic Testing in Juan Gabriel Estate Case

Loeb & Loeb is named as counsel for Ivan Aguilera, son and sole beneficiary of Alberto Aguilera, the legendary Mexican performer popularly known as Juan Gabriel, in connection with a lawsuit involving the estate of the late superstar.

A Los Angeles Superior Court denied a motion brought by Joao Aguilera seeking the release of a portion of Juan Gabriel’s remains for DNA paternity testing.

Loeb & Loeb was quoted in the following statement on behalf of client Ivan Aguilera, who opposed Joao’s motion: “We are pleased that the court rejected and denied Joao Aguilera’s motion, recognizing it as plainly improper and beyond the jurisdiction of any court in the State of California. Ivan Aguilera will continue to do whatever is necessary to honor and give effect to his father Alberto’s clear wishes and instructions, including those contained in his father’s will.”
