Judge Names Addis Tuñón Testamentary Guardian of José Julián

The appointment gives Tuñón the legal authority to demand review of how the late singer’s estate has been managed.

Overview

  • A judge appointed Addis Tuñón as the definitive tutriz (testamentary guardian) for José Julián, a change Addis announced on television after being shown a court document.
  • As her first formal action Tuñón filed to remove Marco Chacón as albacea, asking the court for an accounting of the estate and for Chacón’s replacement to protect the child’s needs.
  • Maribel Guardia posted a brief Instagram message interpreted by followers as a response to losing the tutorship but has not filed a public legal challenge to the recent court decision.
  • Marco Chacón and his lawyer say he accepted the albacea role at Imelda Tuñón’s request and that he requested removal of the post in November 2025, a claim supported by a legal filing shown on television.
  • The dispute follows the 2023 death of singer Julián Figueroa and a long succession fight over whether the will is valid; courts have not yet ruled on the albacea removal or outstanding succession challenges.
