The estate of Martin Luther King Jr. is asking a judge to order the daughter of Dr. King to give up her father's Bible and Nobel Peace Prize.

The complaint against Bernice King was filed Friday in an Atlanta court by her brothers, Martin Luther King III and Dexter King who both control their father's estate.

The civil rights leader's heirs agreed in 1995 to give up their inheritance to the Estate of Martin Luther King Jr. King's sons are claiming Bernice "has secreted and sequestered the property," and now the estate is seeking an emergency court order forcing her to return the items.

According to CNN Bernice King claims her brothers, Martin and Dexter King, told her that they wanted to sell their father's medal and personal Bible to a private buyer, a move she is strictly against.

"We are different people, with different minds, different ideologies," she said Thursday at Ebenezer Baptist Church. "So please, please, please do not put us in the same category."

The passionate sister repulsed by her brothers demands said, "Our Father MUST be turning in his grave," CNN reports. Adding, "While I love my brothers dearly, this latest decision by them is extremely troubling. Not only am I appalled and utterly ashamed, I am frankly disappointed that they would even entertain the thought of selling these precious items. It reveals a desperation beyond comprehension."

"My brothers' decision to sue me is drastic and grieves me greatly. I have absolutely no desire to be in court or to fight yet another public battle," Bernice King said in her statement Tuesday. As well as making her stance clear, "Nevertheless, some actions are sacrilegious and some things are not for sale."

Bernice King is chief executive officer of the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change; a nonprofit group in Atlanta formed by King's wife (her mother) after his 1968 assassination.

She said the items have been well taken care of and in her possession in recent years and have remained in "a safe and secure location" since her mother, Coretta Scott King's passing in 2006.
