José Julián Figueroa Garza, son of the late singer Julián Figueroa and grandson of iconic Mexican singer-songwriter Joan Sebastian, is in the spotlight due to a possible inheritance of approximately 120 million Mexican pesos, or approximately US$6 million.
This information was revealed by Antonio Lozado, attorney for Imelda Garza Tuñón, mother of the minor and widow of Julián Figueroa, during a broadcast of the program Sale el Sol.
Family and legal background of José Julián Figueroa
Joan Sebastian, known as “El Poeta del Pueblo”, died in 2015 without leaving a will, which has generated legal disputes among his heirs.
His fortune, estimated at around $40 million and made up of property, royalties and other assets, has been the subject of controversy among his eight children.
Julián Figueroa, one of Joan Sebastian and Maribel Guardia’s sons, died in April 2023 at the age of 27.
After his death, his son José Julián was considered heir to his father’s share.
Since he is a minor, his mother, Imelda Garza Tuñón, acts as his legal representative in matters related to the estate.
Family and custody disputes
In addition to inheritance issues, there is a legal dispute between Maribel Guardia and Imelda Garza Tuñón over custody of José Julián.
Both parties have expressed concerns about the child’s welfare, which has intensified media attention on the family.
Considerations for the Hispanic community
For Hispanics living in the United States, this case highlights the importance of estate planning and the drafting of wills to avoid legal disputes between heirs.
It also stresses the need to consider the welfare of minors in inheritance and custody situations.
