Ahmet Zappa Zappa Family Trust

After the death of his mother, Gail, it was revealed that Ahmet and his sister Diva were given control of the Zappa Family Trust with shares of 30% each. His siblings Moon and Dweezil were given smaller shares of 20% each. Their uneven divide of trust has resulted in several conflicts between Zappa’s children. This included a feud between Dweezil and Ahmet over Dweezil’s use of his father’s music in live performances.

The trust proposed a trademark on the name Zappa under Ahmet’s direction which would then prevent Dweezil from using the name for commercial purposes without authorization. Dweezil toured with an act called Zappa Plays Zappa, playing his father’s music since 2006. The trust then sought to collect a fee from Dweezil for continued use of the name, as well as proceeds from merchandise sold at Zappa Plays Zappa concerts.
