The family of musician Seth Binzer is currently in a dispute over the late rock star’s estate two years after his passing, as reported by TMZ.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Seth’s ex-partner, Tracy Shelor, requested to be appointed as the administrator of Seth’s estate, which she estimated to be valued at $140K, back in May 2025. Tracy shares a 17-year-old son, Gage, with Seth.
Tracy stated that Seth, also known as Shifty Shellshock, passed away without a will and is survived by his adult son, Halo Binzer, and two younger sons: Gage, who lived with Tracy, and another son, Phoenix Lennard, whom Seth had with his former partner Jasmine Lennard.
In July 2025, Halo submitted his own documents to gain control of the estate, claiming it was only worth $90,500. He later contested claims made by Tracy regarding him “somehow squandering” Seth’s royalties and concealing “personal effects under undue influence of his grandmother.”
Halo asserted that there were “no tangible personal effects of any value,” stating that his late father “had a severe substance abuse problem and sold anything of value to support his lifestyle.”
Halo’s attorney remarked, “What we have here is a sad situation, a tragic death leaving three young boys fatherless, but Shelor’s actions are making a sad situation more devastating in that now funds that could have been used to support the heirs will have to be used for probate administration.”
Phoenix’s mother, Jasmine, filed her own documents opposing Tracy’s request to take over the estate, citing past issues with Tracy.
Tracy responded to Halo’s claims, alleging that he had not provided any accounting for Seth’s estate, including an unreleased album, two potential documentaries, and other contracts “entered into when he was in severe mental decline.”
As previously reported by TMZ, Seth passed away on June 24, 2024, at the age of 49. His manager confirmed at the time that Seth died from an accidental drug overdose, resulting from a combination of prescription pills and street drugs.
