DJ AM's mother Andrea Gross wants to be appointed special administrator of her late son's estate to settle his financial matters, according to court papers filed in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The celebrity deejay (real name Adam Goldstein) -- who did not have a will at the time of his death -- left his mother as his sole heir.

According to court papers, he had an annual gross income of $3.5 million and other property valued at $400,000. With a debt of $2.9 million, his estate is valued at approximately $1 million.

Look back at DJ AM's life

The filing, which states that Goldstein had no spouse or children, also includes that Goldstein was in the process of selling a home in Los Angeles before his death.

His mother is seeking court permission to recover his personal belongings.

A hearing has been set for Oct. 7.

    Wow, peeps on here have some serious hatred issues... peace & love, my goodness... You are all breeding some ugly stuff on here, what if it were you or your family member.. Come on people show your compassionate side, your not the judge over someones life or how they lived it- you just apparently like to think you are... Get over your nasty selves. Someone passed away due to tragic events in his life and there are family and friends who are truly saddened by this, they don't need your "feelings" to be expressed in such an ugly way

    Makes you think! I have no will either, for the same reason. In Maryland, if you don't have a will, your stuff goes to your next of kin. In my case that would be my parents. If I had a will, I would leave everythig to my parents anyway, so since wills here are expensive, I just never had one. Also I had a friend who died, and the hospital asked if the parents wanted to donate her organs, and when they were told my friend had a living will, the hospital said they didn't care. They only go by what parents or a spouse say in the hospital at that time, so there is not a fight at the hospital, between some who do and some who don't want to donate. How rude!

    Pray others learn from this tragedy

    I can understand him not having a will, his parents would be the heirs.

    I know that with no Will, D.Js Estate will most likely end up in Probate. The only people who will see any of that money will be the Attorneys and the Court System. Almost all Estates with or with out a Will end up in Probate, how do I know this my Father had a Will, I inherited a Home with a $35.000.00 balance half of all the assets and a Kioks under the Freemont Experince in Las Vegas Nevada. I had to pay money out of my own income to keep my part of my Fathers Estate up and running as if he was still alive, Long story short, after 4 years in Probate and after all was said and done I walked with about $13.500 and a $19,000.00 Lien on a House in Pre Forclouser. I call the $19.000.00 an I.O.U. I'll never see. The Attorneys who were in charge of my Dads Estate recieved $77.000.00 and the Assc.of the Attorneys all recieved their share. I have written a book about what can and will happen if your affairs are not in order, Dont go with a Will thats old school, people need a Living Trust. This I to know cuz I went to school to learn how to do Living Trust in the State of Calif so I could learn how to help people who cant afford a Living Trust. You may not think you have anything? but you do, Cars, Bank Accounts, MINOR CHILDREN Ect. I one day hope to change the Probate Laws in the United States. The only way to do that is to bring awareness to this multi billion dollar fraud system that is allowed in the United States. If you have a story please e-mail me. fedupwithattorneys@yahoo.com. Thanks for letting me share a little about my story. onecrazebitch.com

    Sorry, us Jews think "jesus" was just some guy that was a little whacked with a bunch of other crazies following him. Sort of like Dick Cheney, only thinner. Sadly, this stuff keeps on going. When the real messiah comes, they'll straighten all this out.

    How can you make so much money and not have a will. Not too smart.

    To Ray F.: Adam Goldstein was an addict. Like me and millions of other Americans, his addiction was no longer active. After the plane crash, in which 30% of his body was burned, pain medication was an absolute necessity. However, that same opiate pain medicine reawakened the sleeping tiger that is addiction. So, in a way, he did die from the crash, just 11 months later!

    After that plane crash, he really had a new lease on life. Good to see he embraced it.
