Stella I was not there, but a statement like that could mean that since he represents the estate now, which is Michael, then he is, broadly speaking, "Michael Jackson" the brand. It is like today, someone told me that Michael said that he liked to share his bed with children, and to them it means he is a pedo and sharing a bed means having sex with them. Branca's statement and the one by Michael can be interpreted in a negative way by anyone who chooses to do so. Therefore, if someone wants to think that Branca meant He Is In Reality Michael Jackson, and if someone wants to think that Michael meant he had sex with children or liked them for sexual reasons, it is up to them. Maybe Branca himself will speak about this, who knows.

To me, if I die and leave my estate for you to carry on and you are supposed to keep my legacy going, you better act as though you are me and do the kind of job that I would want. I do not see anything low in Branca's statement, if he did say it. Based on the other nonsense in that letter, I am beginning to wonder if that statement is true.

About the funeral, what is so wrong in not going. I have turned down funeral offers too from people who I worked with. I hope they do not think too badly of me.

If he is acting as Michael Jackson then the answer is that Michael couldn't stand being around them.

I’m sure John Branca didn’t want to listen to them whine all night about how the Will is fake and he murdered their brother. The bottom-line is that none of them is going to get MJ’s money and there are only so many ways Branca can tell them that fact.
 
I love the family too and while they have every right to question the actions of the estate, it should have been done privately so as not to cause more negativity for MJ or his children. Thing is, this whole idea of some fans siding with the estate and some with the family is ridiculous. It should be about one person and one person only: Michael Jackson.

The only thing we know about Branca's firing is that his services were no longer required by Michael in 2003, yet he was photographed with Mj's advisers in 2005 but I don't think there is any concrete evidence about how or whynhe was there. I believe it was AEg who brought him in in 2009.

Petrarose is right IMO. Legally Michael Jackson Estate is Michael Jackson after his death. Furthermore it's really important to know in what context he said such thing - if he really did. For example if it was due to Katherine and Joe making deals with people and authorizing them to use Michael's name and image, he might have said it meaning I represent him and you don't.

As for the funeral, Jacksons wasn't friendly with Branca at all. They were trying to oust him from the start. Perhaps he didn't feel welcome. As for McClain he had a health event years back and since he hasn't attended any public events over a decade now. You don't see him give interviews or attend to Estate related events too.

I agree with Ivy and Petarose here
I remember when this was stated. It was quite awhile back I believe when jackson's were insisiting they had a legal right to use Michael's name and image becuase they were his family. Branca's reply was retoric and Im not sure he used those exact words.. But it was meant to imply that for all legal purposes and for representation of Michael. The estate is Michael Jackson. NOT the Jackson's ..
 
Please, can someone answer these two questions.

1) I assume that if KJ is unable to care for the kids, the estate will provide for her care and pay directly to the care giver . But what would happen with her monthly income?

2) Can the kids manternal grandparents ask for guardianship?

Thanks.
 
Based on the rest of the letter, and accusations id take that quote "I am Michael Jackson now" very lightly...as it was either not said at all and only put in this letter for 'shock affect' or something along those lines was said and meaning exactly what everyone else has been saying, that the estate is Michael, and the Jackson's have changed those words around to make it look as though it was said in a nasty way, and to outrage people...especially the fans. They clearly think that we're as stupid as they are and that we live in fairytale worlds like they do if they think we were going to fall for their bullshit.
 
:no: *big sigh*



This whole situation is very worrisome and depressing. To what extent will the Jackson family? :blink: I feel that the family will not stop and will come much more about this hot mess. Oh God :doh: ... I only think about Michael... about what he would say about all this mess. :( Now more than ever I do not trust this family :nono: and I feel afraid of them :fear: .... May God take care and protect PPB. :angel:

AEG had nothing to do with whom Michael hired as his legal representation. It would have been a liability for them if they tried. Michael rehired Branca as he usually did when something very important was at stake.

So the jacksons are saying branca said that? the thing is its hard to belive them now as the things they have done lately has been too shady to make anything they say beliveable
 
Do you think this is part of a larger plan to get Katherine deemed unfit being their guardian, so they can get access to the money via guardianship? and if so what is that likelihood? YES. BUT THE ESTATE WOULD ABSOLUTELY OPPOSE THE MRS J'S CHILDREN BEING GIVEN CONSVERATORSHIP OF HER BUSINESS & FINANCIAL AFFAIRS. THEY WOULD WANT AN INDEPENDENT PERSON APPOINTED, BUT THAT ISN'T IN PLAY NOW AS SHE IS IN GOOD HEALTH (FOR SOMEONE HER AGE)

I was thinking the very same thing yesterday
 
HSK Exclusive - Several of Michael Jackson’s siblings may take legal action against the executors of late King of Pop’s estate.
In a scathing letter recently sent by the Jackson’s to John Branca and John McClain, charges of fraud, forgery and abuse of their mother, Katherine Jackson, are listed – in addition to a threat of legal action against the pair.
This before blaming the actions of Branca and McClain on sparking Katherine Jackson to suffer a mini-stroke.
The letter was drawn up and signed by Janet, Jermaine, Tito, Randy and Rebbie. Jackie, Marlon, La Toya, Joe, and Katherine did not sign the letter.
Here’s what Joe Jackson had to say to HSK about the situation:
“Jacky, there’s a lot of suspicion surrounding my son’s will. Something fishy is going on and we’re trying to get to the bottom of it.
My family and I believe Michael’s will was forged.

So it is better to believe that Michael was stupid and didn't set up a will to protect his children and his buisnesses.

LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson was nowhere to be seen as his closest advisers gathered at the posh Beverly Hills Hotel to discuss his finances, but those in attendance said the pop superstar remains fully in control of his business affairs.

The meeting Monday — held days before Jackson’s arraignment on child molestation charges — was attended by his attorneys, managers and accountants, along with Nation of Islam leaders. They disputed reports that the religious group had assumed control of Jackson’s financial matters.

“Michael is in charge,” John Branca, one of the singer’s business attorneys, told reporters.

Jackson is scheduled to be arraigned Friday on child molestation charges in the Santa Barbara County city of Santa Maria. On Monday, Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Rodney S. Melville ruled that cameras would not be permitted in the courtroom during the arraignment.

Or IN LA-Times-article

In April, 2004, the Los Angeles Times wrote an article which you could only access when you paid for it. However, this article was written when Michael was gearing up for the trial. Many were counting on the downfall of Michael Jackson, as most of us realize now. Yet, the LA Times states that "Jackson's longtime attorney, John Branca says it would be a mistake to count him out. Michael was counted out once before, when the Jackson Five lost popularity and came back bigger than ever, Branca said. Michael speaks to a worldwide audience like no other artist in history."

To me the estate has always been Michael. He created it and he picked those 2 men to run his business when he was gone. They are the only ones that can use Michael's image and such for business not the jacksons. They are his family but this is about business and they refuse to get it or just are ignorant. Everything is always fishy to them and they are always investigating and getting more info coming. They didn't know much about Michael's life as they would like everyone to believe. Most of the things they know are from other people who have heard things. They never saw anything because Michael ignored them as much as possible.The estate just came out and said that they made $475 million and now this disgusting letter comes out. Coincidence? I don't think so. Jermaine always has an answer for everything.

The posting said Jackie, Marlon, La Toya, Joe, Katherine did NOT sign the letter. So yeah, you're right. Their names were not on there. :)
 
I'm pretty sure John Branca is a sane person and he doesn't have grand delusions about being Michael Jackson. I also do not really trust anything the family says when the letter is full of lies those can be proven to be lies - such as the Estate not fulfilling their duties. So why should I take anything they write in that letter at face value? And even IF Branca said that I'm sure that was in a context to say that he represents MJ on the business front (fact), not to imply that he really is MJ.
 
^QFT. If they are despicable enough to lie about their mother's health, you can bet your behind they will make up just about anything.
 
Petrarose said:
Now Jermaine is saying that their main concern is their mother. If that is the case all he has to do is let her drop the AEG case and stop pressuring her to make deals with criminals to exploit Michael. The solution is simpler than writing that letter. It seems more than ever that all this suing and business deals Katherine went into was dictated by her children.

Plus if they are so concerned about the health of their mother, why do they have her raise and provide for their kids, instead of them taking care of them? These guys don't even care about their own kids, so it's hard to believe they have such great concerns for MJ's kids or for their mother. All they care about is the money of MJ's kids and how could they get to it.

You never know, but then again, nobody knew that Michael was beaten when he was growing up until he spoke about it.

Sadly, when Michael was little the law wasn't as tough on parents negligence or abuse as it is now. Luckily J3 were born in a totally different era, when it comes to children's rights.

Sorry but if she had a mini -stroke several months ago, why is she being ordered to rest now? Shouldn't she rested when it happened?

Exactly, he's just trying to get everything to "fit" with his BS, they're pathetic. Can't even sit down and come up with something better than these disgusting lies that don't make sense at all.

Youtube is despicable, I mean its users... it's the LAST place I'd visit right now, regarding this whole J's BS.
 
I fear for Michael's kids. I really do, especially after reading on this thread that the legal order of inheritance is first kids, and in the absence of any, parents and then siblings...

one interesting comment from the video

I worked 4 estate att. in Florida preparing wills & codicils. Many of our clients did not live in-state year round. We prepared documents 4 clients who were out of state all the? time which were then sent 2 them for signature. Sometimes they were not even in country. As long as they come back with witnessed signatures, they R legal. MJ did NOT have to be in California to sign his will for it to be legal. U can have an attorney anywhere prepare your will. U can sign it where ever U choose!​
 
Why would Michael accept an AEG lawyer to rep him? Michael Jackson was not a stupid man. John Branca was hired by Michael because Michael knew and trusted him to look out for his best interest and do an awesome job. Michael requested JB for the same reason he requested Kenny Ortega. He wanted the best professionals working for him. His only weakness was the conman Conrad Robert Murray.
 
via Ethemer Jackson: A Detailed explanation of Michael's will and trust in
the event of Katherine's death.

Michael's will and trust specifically
state what happens to the money upon Katherine's death, and he did name family
members as contingent beneficiaries, but not only his 3 cousins and 3 nephews -
NONE of his siblings are to receive anything. Here's how Michael wanted his
money distributed upon his death. After 20% goes to charity, and after taxes are
paid, the remaining assets and income are split between Katherine and the
children - 40% goes to the Children's Trust and 40% goes into the Katherine
Jackson Trust. From her trust, Katherine receives distributions, at the
executors' discretion, for her care, support, and comfort for the rest of her
life. Upon her death, anything in the Katherine Jackson Trust reverts to the
Children's Trust. The MJ's Children's Trust is divided equally among his
children and distributed to each in installments at ages 21, 30, 35 and 40. He
included provisions for early distributions for special circumstances, such as
starting a business or buying a home, etc. If any of Michael's children should
die, that deceased child's share would go to his/her own children, Michael's
grandchildren. If none of Michael's children or grandchildren survive, the
assets and income of the MJ's Children's Trust goes to The MJ's Relatives Trust.
Here is where he names other family members, his 3 cousins and 3 nephews. They
get anything that is left all after Katherine, Prince, Paris, Blanket and any
grandchildren die. I'm sure Katherine has her own assets (which surely came from
Michael while he was living) that she can distribute in her will any way she
wishes.
Click to expand...





I don't see what all the fuss is about Michael's hard EARNED money is going
to take of his mother until she passes away since the other siblings can't
afford too, and his children and future grandkids and their kids will be set for
life and will never have to struggle finance wise as a GREAT father should. oh
yeah God Bless his generous soul he still is going to helping charities even
when his soul is at rest. i'll feel sorry for the brothers since their interest
is waning down and what will happen once their mother's pass? i mean that speaks volumes when mj chose his three cousins & nephews to be next in line instead of them :whistle2:
