AIKEN, South Carolina: The woman who claims to be James Brown's fourth wife will be allowed to return to the home she shared with the late singer to retrieve her belongings, a judge ruled Friday. It was not immediately clear when she planned to go to the home.

Tomi Rae Hynie says she has been locked out of the home in Beech Island since Brown died Christmas Day. He was 73.

Hynie says she and Brown were married, which is disputed by Brown's attorneys.

Hynie and the singer's six adult children were in court Friday in an attempt to remove three trustees who are handling the late singer's estate. The children claim the estate has been mismanaged.

Attorneys for the trustees said Friday they plan a countersuit. An attorney handling Brown's will, Strom Thurmond Jr., asked the judge in Aiken County for a restraining order against the children, saying they have interfered with the administration of the estate.

The singer's embalmed body remains at an undisclosed location, in the same sealed, gold casket seen at his funeral, awaiting a decision on where to bury it, officials at the funeral home that handled Brown's funeral confirmed Thursday.
