ATLANTA , Georgia ( CNN ) -- A judge has ordered the children of the Rev . Martin Luther King Jr. to meet in their capacity as the sole shareholders of the corporation that manages their iconic father 's estate . Dexter King has denied taking `` substantial funds '' from his parents ' estates . King 's children were in Fulton County , Georgia , Superior Court Monday in a dispute over their parents ' estates . Two children of the civil rights icon are suing their brother , accusing him of wrongfully taking money from their parents ' estates . The Rev . Bernice King and Martin Luther King III allege Dexter King took `` substantial funds '' out of Coretta Scott King 's estate and `` wrongfully appropriated '' money from their father 's estate . Dexter King has publicly denied the accusations . It was unclear what outcome having a shareholder meeting for the Estate of Martin Luther King Jr. , Inc. would have on the dispute . The three siblings have not held such a meeting since 2004 , corporation attorney Luke Lantta said . The removal of Dexter King as the estate 's administrator is unlikely because that would require a meeting of the board of directors . Judge Ural Glanville on Monday also ruled in favor of dismissing some of the allegations against Dexter King , but left the question of whether he failed to act in the best interest of his father 's incorporated estate to a jury . A trial on the allegation of breach of fiduciary duty could happen as early as next month . The lawsuit reveals a very public fissure in an iconic family that has always professed unity , particularly as questions have swirled around some of their financial dealings . Martin Luther King III and Bernice King were in the courtroom Monday , but Dexter King was not . He had been injured in an accident in California and did not make the trip to Georgia . Dexter King had filed a counter claim against his sister , asking the court to force her to hand over to the corporation some items that belonged to Martin Luther King Jr . In a special hearing Monday , the court ruled that the items , including Martin Luther King Jr. 's Nobel Peace Prize and his love letters to Coretta Scott King will be turned over to the court to hold until a resolution is reached . The courtroom was packed with supporters of the King family . Among those in attendance were the Rev . Joseph Lowery and former Ambassador Andrew Young , friends of Martin Luther King Jr. who worked with him during the civil rights movement . CNN 's Aaron Cooper contributed to this report .
