Losing out: The trustees of Whitney Houston's estate are trying to delay her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown from getting the cash
She hit the headlines after she started dating her foster brother and decided to star in her own reality show.
And Bobbi Kristina Brown's behaviour has come back to haunt her, as the family of her mother Whitney Houston are trying to stop her getting her hands on her inheritance.
The trustees of the estate, which includes her grandmother Cissy, have filed legal docs requesting that the payment schedule to Bobbi Kristina be changed.
According to Radar, they fear the 19-year-old is under the 'undue influence' of objectionable people.
In court documents filed in Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta, Cissy is claiming her granddaughter 'is a highly visible target for those who would exert undue influence over her inheritance and/or seek to benefit from respondent's resources and celebrity.'
The trustees claim in the schedule of distribution conflicts with her 'intent to provide long-term financial security and protection for her child.
'Compliance with the provisions of the trust would defeat or substantially impair the accomplishment of the purposes of the trust, which were to provide for the proper maintenance and comfort of the respondent, and to prevent the wasting of trust assets, as evidenced by the trust's spend thrift provision.'
Bobbi Kristina is the sole beneficiary of Whitney's estate, which holds all of the superstar's remaining earnings and assets.

The Bodyguard star was found dead in the bathtub of her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in February, with the coroner ruling she died of an accidental drowning.
The development follows her recent public appearance with her 'brother boyfriend' Nick Gordon at the Los Angeles premiere of Sparkle.
Both sported sporting new tattoos on their wrists that bore the letters WH surrounded by doves.
They had the work done on what would have been Whitney's 49th birthday.
Bobbi Kristina is currently filming her reality show The Houston Family Chronicles, which debuts later this year.

Last week she was involved in a car accident in Georgia that left her boyfriend's black Camaro badly damaged.
No one was injured in the crash, but sources told TMZ Gordon, 22, was driving and she was in the passenger seat.

No other car was  involved in the accident in Alpharetta, but details of how the vehicle sustained so much damage are still unclear.

Her father Bobby Brown recently entered rehab after an extended period of boozing in reaction to Whitney's death, and his subsequent estrangement from his daughter.
