Oliver Tree left specific instructions for his family in his will

A report by TMZ has revealed the very specific instructions mentioned in Oliver Tree's will for his family. According to the report, the musician has instructed his family not to sell off his eclectic art collection. He further gave instructions on what to do with the pieces. The media outlet cited the court documents and revealed that Tree's father, Jesse Nickell III, has asked him to be appointed as the administrator of his late son's trust. 

According to the report, Oliver Tree's father, Jesse Nickell III, said he was unsure how much the estate was worth as of yet. The paperwork further revealed that Tree did not leave behind a spouse or any children and had nominated his dad to serve as administrator, with his mom, Christine, as a backup option. The document further stated that Tree planned to leave handwritten instructions for the administrator on how to distribute his assets. However, it remains unclear whether he got around to it.
