In the eyes of the court, the Muddy Waters' estate was first settled in 1987. After the 2010 letter drafted to the Cameron company from the Morganfields relating to Waters' asset management, the late musician's family petitioned to reopen the estate. They claim it was improperly handled, and they wished to investigate the status and value of assets that remained in the possession of Cameron's company. Based on their petition, the Morganfield family alleged that Cameron had pocketed some $2 million in royalty payments from 2008 to 2014, which they were owed. Though managed by Cameron, all earnings from the Waters' catalog, would be distributed to the Morganfield family twice a year, as Waters outlined in his will, according to Wealth Management.

Even though Cameron's defense attorneys claimed the suit was beyond the statute of limitations for such a case, the Waters' estate was reopened. In their response, attorneys representing The Cameron Organization claimed that the music management company — which was at that point operated by Scott Cameron's widow, Elizabeth Cameron — did nothing wrong, and that the company paid millions in royalties to the Morganfield family since the Waters' estate was first settled, as the Chicago Tribune also reported. Nonetheless, the Morganfield family petitioned the court to return all Waters' assets to their purview.
