Kellie Picker and her former in-laws are heading to court nearly two years after her husband, Kyle Jacobs, took his own life.
The country singer, 38, and Jacobs’ parents are fighting over his property.
Pickler filed a petition against Reed and Sharon Jacobs, who are co-administrators of Kyle’s estate, claiming her former mother-in-law and father-in-law removed items from their home without telling her following her husband’s death, according to In Touch Weekly.
“A dispute has arisen amongst the parties regarding certain personal property allegedly [Kyle’s] possession prior to his death,” the petition read.
According to Pickler, Reed and Sharon created a “List of Assets,” demanding that she turn over several items, which the “Didn’t You Know How Much I Loved You” singer alleges she either does not have or is disputing the ownership.
Kyle’s parents requested several items, including their son’s gun collection, which consisted of three rifles, seven pistols, one shotgun, a silencer, and a gun safe. They also demanded his jewelry, watches, baseball cards, personal devices, musical instruments, and more.
“As part of this action, Ms. Pickler seeks an order requiring the coadministrators to identify the items that they obtained from her home,” the petition stated.
The superstar’s former in-laws are firing back at her claims in documents filed on Nov. 7.
While Kyle’s parents admitted to retrieving certain items from Pickler’s house, they claim it was “at the express invitation of [Pickler] and her counsel whom they met to discuss the transfer of items belonging to the estate.”
They also claim that Pickler knew they were taking the items because she allegedly set them aside for Reed and Sharon.
They are demanding the singer’s petition be dismissed, alleging they went through the couple’s prenup, which outlined the future ownership of their late son’s property.
The Jacobs are objecting to the protective order that Pickler was granted, which prevents either party from sharing the video or transcript of her deposition to spare her any “annoyance, embarrassment, oppression or undue burden or expense.”
They argue the order “sought the protection of information/documentation not yet in existence,” adding that “at no time did the Court express in any way that’s its ruling was made ‘in order to avoid embarrassment’ as [Pickler’s] proposed Order gratuitously adds.”
The case is ongoing.
The Post has reached out to Pickler for comment.
Kyle took his life on Feb. 17, 2023, after shooting himself in the couple’s Nashville home. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at 49.
Pickler, who wed Kyle in Jan. 2011, sold the four-bedroom house for $2.3 million in May.
