If he had a will it establishes what he wanted done with his estate after he passed away... If he had life insurance who is the beneficiary is or if it goes to the estate then it could be used for funeral expenses... If there is a will it should specify who the executor / executrix of the estate is...It's possible Herbert and the nephew were estranged and he will receive nothing... I'm quite sure that Herbert would have specified what was to become of his life's work...Perhaps he left Stevie the pictures he took of her... If Herbert died without a will then that's a whole other story... If he didn't have a will then most likely the estate will go into probate...The state will step in and a Judge may be appointed to make all the decisions as to what happens and who gets what... Estates can get very complicated rather quickly which is why as I posted earlier the first thing you probably should do is get a lawyer or find out if the deceased had a lawyer that handled their affairs... |

I would keep an eye on ebay because if the nephew gets his hands on any of Herbert's work there's a good chance that's where it will end up...

By Zen Vuong, Pasadena Star-News [click to see young picture of Herbie with his sister]
http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/obit...-at-69#author1 November 14, 2013 SOUTH PASADENA >> Herbert W. Worthington III, Fleetwood Mac’s photographer, left many indelible images in people’s minds, but friends and family most remember a “gentle giant” capable of seeing beauty in even the grotesque. He was 69 when he died earlier this month. Worthington and Jimi Hendrix were pals, half-brother Bob Worthington Jr. said. But they would’ve been friends even if “Herbie didn’t know how to take a snapshot on a Polaroid.” “Herbie had that kind of magnetism, that kind of aura that would draw people to him,” said Bob Worthington, 78. “He was kind of a Bohemian monkey, so to speak. He just could click with the greatest.” After not hearing or seeing the famed photographer for four days, neighbors called authorities, Coroner Ed Winter said. The South Pasadena Fire Department performed a “welfare check” about noon on Nov. 10 and found Worthington dead on his bed. Worthington died of heart disease, but his time of death is uncertain, Winter said. The talented photographer is so beloved that friends and fans have devoted a Facebook page to his memory. Stevie Nicks Info also published an online tribute: “Worthington is best known for photographing Fleetwood Mac’s iconic 1977 album cover, ‘Rumours’ — providing the concept, inspiration and even the footstool for the ‘Rumours’ album cover,” it said. “Worthington captured the mystical allure of the band and was instrumental in creating the iconic imagery (such as the crystal ball) which is still associated with Fleetwood Mac today.” His family provided an intimate look into the life of a man who became a lovable recluse around 1992. Lisa Bostwick-Eilar, 47, said she and her two siblings considered Uncle Herbie a father figure because their dad wasn’t in the picture and because Uncle Herbie didn’t have any children of his own. “When we were younger, he never wore shoes,” said Bostwick-Eilar, from Colton. “Every time, even if he came for Thanksgiving or a holiday, he wouldn’t wear leather (because it comes from cow, and he’s a vegetarian). He would step out of his Mercedes with no shoes.” Bob Worthington recalled how his half-brother began his career. One day Herbie Worthington called his older brother to tell him someone had given him a camera. Bob Worthington asked his younger brother what kind of camera it was. “‘Oh, I don’t know,” the elder Worthington recalled Herbie Worthington saying. ‘It’s called a 3-5-M-M-S-L-R. Can you come over and show me how to use it?’” “What you have is a 35 mm single-lens reflex,” Bob Worthington said before asking his younger brother if he had any film. “Film? No. I don’t have any film,” Herbie Worthington said. “I don’t even know what I’d do with it.” Three lessons and a short time later, Herbie Worthington began shooting album covers for Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, Neil Diamond and all kinds of famous folks, Bob Worthington said. “He ended up having an eye through the camera that was absolutely remarkable,” he added. “Herbie had the ability to — through photographic means — bring out the more beautiful features of whatever he was photographing.” Herbie Worthington’s fame never went to his head, said nephew Bobby Del Bostwick. “You’re talking about a guy who, whenever he would walk into a room, he would naturally duck his head down,” Bostwick said of his 6-foot-4-inch uncle, who in the 1970s often jumped into limos with big, bell bottoms and no shoes. Friend Lori Hyde-Glaser said Worthington had a gentle soul and had a never-ending supply of wonderful stories about his life. “He was quite the photographer, and he knew how to make you smile,” she said. “I miss his voice and his laughter. I am thankful of his gifts he gave us — his photography — and for his memories. Herbert is one of a kind.” Worthington is survived by his half-brother, Bob Worthington; nephew, Bobby Del Bostwick; niece Bostwick-Eilar; niece Joy Lydia King; and great-nephew, Chaun Franklin Ralls; as well as all of their children. His memorial service hasn’t been announced, because the family is still looking for Worthington’s will. “We want to put Herbie to rest the way Herbie wanted to be put to rest,” Bob Worthington said. |

The article says Herbert was 69...At least he had a half brother and things are being taken care of...I imagine this "mad treasure hunt" for his will...

This remains to be seen. I hope he has enough integrity not to do this, but I have my doubts. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

I always wonder why he stopped photographing Stevie after 1994?

I don't think any of us want to see his work dumped on ebay or anywhere else for a quick profit...Hopefully Herbert had a will and it's located...It's nice to see that Herbert seems to have had a lot of friends and they are taking care of him...

Like what happened in 1992 to make him become a recluse? _________________________________________ If Herbert still owned the negatives, or I should say the rights to his photos/negatives then Stevie could help the estate (if needed) and present us with a proper* coffee table book full of photos. * with fold out legs |

Yes. To get gothic: what dark trauma made him close himself off from the world.
