I feel with the opposition to the will, it could very well be really deep-rooted in this idea of family and entitlement that all jacksons have, even in the next generation like taj (as seen in the mjjc q and a). They just feel everything mj is theirs - mj spent his life keeping them at arms' length , but once he died they just went into automatic mode and immediately filed for ownership of the estate even though they knew branca had a copy of the will. All the comments that they have made, like joe jackson is the estate, the will maybe in ink but we are blood, we are family so how can we be accused of exploiting mj, we were the reason for mj's success etc. And their utter inability and incredulity in recognising that they cannot use the likeness of mj in all their projects even though he is their son/brother. All of it suggests that it's nothing to do with genuine concerns about suspect locations, forged signatures, misspelt names, but with a complete emotional refusal to accept that they are blocked from using and exploiting mj after death even though they feel they own him as a jackson.
Excellent points. Thx.

I think he mentioned John branca often is cause branca is the very active front man but John McClain is very private, quiet and low key. The bold part is the farfetched speculation in my opinion to rationalize randy's crazy nonsense. Michael never fired John branca, on the contrary, it's John branca resigned in 2006. Secondly, it's the fact after the trial randy screwed up Michael's finance badly and caused him a huge trouble. It ended up Michael almost sued randy in court but backed off because he is his brother. So Randy is the last person to point finger on others. Most importantly, Michael rehired john branca and other old employee for his comeback in 09, he said he wanted his old team back. If he hated John branca, he simply made a new will and replaced him with someone he liked. I kinda agree with you that qualification matters we don't have to love our coworkers to work with them. Same goes to Michael, he don't have to love branca to name him as the executor.
To me The Jacksons kept spreading the so called "michael hated John branca" and "the wrong location" is simply cause they wanted to dispute Michael's will and they are grasping the last straw.
I don’t think the speculation is farfected, just not as relevant as what Bonnie Blue and you have pointed out in his case.
Branca resigned in 2006, but MJ had fired him previously. They had an off and on relationship for over 25 years.
Don't think he hated Branca, but believe he had trust issues with him and everybody else after the trial. Finding a replacement wouldn't be a simple matter. Branca is very very good.
I 100% agree with your last paragraph.
