A German court says it's awaiting details of a will drawn up by Cornelius Gurlitt, the reclusive art collector who hoarded more than 1,000 artworks at his apartment and died this week.
Munich district court president Gerhard Ziel said Wednesday that Gurlitt left a will with a notary in the southwest region of Baden-Wuerttemberg, news agency dpa reported.
He said the court expects to receive the document next week and will then establish whether it was correctly filed and whether Gurlitt named heirs.
Gurlitt's spokesman isn't commenting on who might inherit the works.
But German officials say that any heirs are bound by a deal under which Gurlitt agreed that hundreds of pieces from the collection would remain in government hands while they are checked for a possible Nazi-era past. |

Court revives victim lawsuit in mistaken shooting

The Supreme Court has reinstated the lawsuit filed by a former major league baseball player's son who was shot on the porch of his family home by a Houston-area police officer.
The justices on Monday ordered a lower court to reconsider the case of Robert Tolan, son of former major leaguer Bobby Tolan. The son was shot in the chest after police mistakenly believed he was armed and had stolen a vehicle.
A Houston-area jury acquitted Bellaire police Sgt. Jeffrey Cotton of criminal charges in the shooting, which happened on New Year's Eve in 2008. A federal appeals court dismissed Tolan's civil lawsuit claiming that Cotton used excessive force.
The high court said the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals acted too hastily. |

Spain court rejects torture case extraditions
Court News |

Spain's National Court has rejected the extradition to Argentina of a second former police officer accused of torturing people during Spain's long dictatorship.
The court turned down the extradition of Spaniard Antonio Gonzalez Pacheco on Wednesday, saying his alleged offences in the 1970s were not crimes against humanity and thus had exceeded the statute of limitations.
The court recently rejected the extradition to Argentina of another former officer, Jesus Munecas, on similar grounds.
An Argentine investigative magistrate had sought their extradition for questioning under the principle of universal jurisdiction.
The judge took up the probe after a Spanish investigation into the dictatorship's crimes was halted in 2012. Spain was ruled by Gen. Francisco Franco from 1939 until his death in 1975.
