Bobbi Kristina Brown, Whitney Houston's daughter is still coping with her mother's death. Houston's only child, Brown, has inherited almost $20 million after her mother's death. Her family worry that she may blow everything she has and will petition her mother's estate.  

Brown, 19, has been doing an excessive amount of partying, shopping, and décor for her new Atlanta home. According to People magazine, sources close to Brown say, "She's vulnerable and immature. Some family members are afraid others will help her spend her money and then it will be gone."

Recently, Brown confessed to the world that she is engaged to her adoptive brother, Nick Gordon. Speculation of the engagement has been floating around for months, but the teenager kept a tight lip.  In the sneak peek footage of the upcoming season of their reality show, the Houston famly disapproves of Gordon. Houston's brother, Gary Houston sat down with Gordon and told him, "No one knows from Godson you would turn to a boyfriend. No one knows that."

The Houston family may be more concern of Gordon because of his bad boy image. Last month, the 23-year-old tweeted a picture of himself driving and posing with a gun. Later Gordon apologized, "I should have known better." Some may believe that Gordon may be a threat to Brown's inheritance and that she may lose everything due to the pressure from outsiders. Sources say, "[She] is a highly visible target for those who would exert undue influence over her inheritance."

The teenager's grandmother Cissy Houston, and her aunt Pat Houston are the trustees of the estate and are trying to petition when Brown can collect the lump sum of her mother's estate. It all seems to unfold in the public's eye on their reality show, "The Houstons: On Our Own, which debuts October 24, 2012.
