The late singer's mother, Jane Schenck, had been battling in court with Carter's former fiancée, , over the remainder of Carter's estate following his death in 2022 at 34.
And now a judge has denied Schenck's bid to prevent her late son's estate from closing, according to documents obtained by the Daily Mail.
Judge Jessica A. Uzcategui ruled late last month that Carter's 'estate is insolvent,' meaning that its current debts outweigh its remaining assets.
She also ruled that its non-cash assets should be given to Martin, who is the mother of Carter's four-year-old son, Princeton 'Prince' Lyric Carter.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Schenck and Martin for comment.

Schenck had filed an objection in court back in February, in which she claimed that Martin had illegally taken $24,530 from Carter's accounts.
According to Carter's mother's objection, Martin began withdrawing the funds two days after his death on November 5, 2022, and her final withdrawal was on November 29 of that year.

Despite claiming that Martin had committed 'financial improprieties,' Schenck said that she 'does not wish any legal harm to [Martin],' and she said her only concern is for her grandson's well-being.
Schenck had previously waged legal fights with her late son over money issues.
She and his father, Robert, had served as his managers for a decade, until the teen singer filed for emancipation while alleging that she had taken over $100,000 of his money without authorization.
But after his parents divorced in 2004, Carter dropped his petition and subsequently moved in with his father.
At the time, an attorney for the family announced that 'All financial misunderstandings have been resolved between Aaron and his parents.'

Schenck also responded in a statement: 'I’m looking forward to putting my family back together and working together side by side with all my children.'
Carter died at home on November 5, 2022, at age 34. He was found in a bathtub, and the medical examiner's report later ruled his death an accidental drowning after he had consumed multiple drugs, including Xanax and the inhaled refrigerant difluoroethane.
