Paris has no clue what kind of people and what's she dealing with. "Uncle Randy" ain't playing with a full deck, imo.

That is the scary part:no:
I hope Randy is nowhere near the kids, he is dangerous and unstable, God knows what he'll do!
Paris is only 14, she should not be involved anything like this at all.

Now that Paris practically says that Randy is telling lies, I wonder if those siblings who signed the letter are going to attack on Paris in someway, verbally or other way:bugeyed

And Randy is a dick for lying about Katherine's health for his gain. IMHO I now found Randy A LOT worser than Jermaine.

EXACTLY!

That's lowdown right there, who the heck does that and in the same breath they spout the virtues of being a part of a tightnit family.

They ALL signed that letter, they are all shameful.
 
The family knows the will is legit. The same will and circumstances were submitted before Blanket was born, and the last will was just an updated version of that will to include Blanket. Michael chose not to change anything in the updated will accept the inclusion of Blanket. The family wants the estate to help them in their suit against AEG. I think their case against AEG is thin. The family has to prove there was a formal contract between Dr. Murray and AEG to even launch their case and during the trial it was brought out that there was no signed contract.

I was thinking that the family "most likely" approached TMZ first, to publish their little letter, but Harvey Levin didn't take the bait.

Wasn't it TMZ who reported the recent information regarding how well Michael's Estate was doing under the guidance of Mr. Branca and Mr. McClain?

TMZ did receive the letter..but it looked too fishy. They contacted someone within Katherine's camp who denied she had a stroke...I guess it all went down from there.
 
Reminds u of randys "heart attack" doesnt it. how sick saying something like about someone when its false as a way to get attention and sympathy
 
Paris is not afraid to speak her mind and I like that very much, but not in this case on Twitter. I don't blame her. It's her young age.

Hope she doesn't tweet about this anymore. She can have her opinion of course, but it's better she talks about it in private and not in public.

She's just too young.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a long twitter absence from Paris in the near future. All those aunts and uncles might suddenly "care" and feel that she needs to be protected from the cyberbullies and other bad influences on the internet.
 
This document was not drawn up by a lawyer it doesn't even have a letterhead. It is so pathetic, why should the Executors resign, they have been doing a great job. The family's failed attempts of selling perfume, belts, and Jackson Five clothing have been busts. They didn't want to pay off Michael's debts, they wanted to sell the catalog and liqudate the assets for quick cash. They were not thinking about what was best for his children. They just wanted quick bucks to finance the careers of their own children. Suddenly Austin can pay for overpriced Rodney Jerkins to do production work on his new album and he can also afford to handle the distribution costs himself. Jermaine went on his "My Brother has Died Tour" with his children in various parts of the world after swearing in court he had no means of income. This is the most pathetic guise they have come up with.

Can anyone explain the location discrepancy on the will?
Click to expand...

On the will the location is written as "Los Angeles" but on the date written Michael was at New York protesting against Sony.

I don't remember exactly but I think the explanation was one of witnesses or such had mixed up and wrote the location wrong. Or perhaps the date was wrong.

Does it matter?

Legally no. As long as 3 witnesses give affidavits that they saw the will signing and as long as the intent is clear, it doesn't matter.

I honestly don't know what to believe anymore.

All I know is that Michael would be devastated if he were here to witness this mess.
 
Michael did not like John Branca and John McClain in his last days, and did not want to have anything to do with them. I think the Jackson family made the right decision-but with that said Michael did not want them in his Will either, MJ wanted his mother, his children, and I beleive Diana Ross in his Will, that's it. God please work out this situation, because it seems everyone thinks they're slick and are going against MJ's wishes.
 
I've never had a lot of time for the majority of the Jacksons, but I genuinely never imagined they (even Jermaine) would stoop to actually concocting the idea that Katherine suffered a mini-stroke due to stress apparently caused the management of Michael's Estate. That is the defining act of genuine mental problems within the Jackson clan. And for Michael's kids to find this news out with the rest of the world is actually sickening. I never realized how entirely alone Michael was, even from his vulture siblings.

I wish someone would transcribe the letter so we can go though it piece by piece to rebuttle many of the claims.

Your wish is my command. Here we go:


Dear Mr. Branca and Mr. McClain,

With all due respect, and after meaningful thought and consideration, we address this letter directly to you.

WE insist that you resign effective immediately as executors from the estate of our brother, Michael Joe Jackson. For good cause we make this appeal to you, as will be represented thereon in this letter, and further revealed in the coming weeks.

Since the passing of Michael, our beloved brother, you have failed to perform your duties as executors of his estate, but what you have not failed at is taking advantage of a grieving mother, father and a grieving family. Your egregious behavior first became obvious only days after his death. John Branca, when we called you regarding the will you didn't want to interrupt your vacation. You said you wouldn't return for four days, at which time you presented to our family an incomplete Will. The Will that you presented did not have our brother's signature on it, nor did it have a signature page attached to it. When asked about the missing signature page, John Branca replied, "it was on its way, and you were having just a little problem finding it."

The shock of Michael's sudden unexpected passing was overwhelming to our family, to say the least. At that time we couldn't possibly fathom what is so obvious to us now: that the Will, without question, it's Fake, Flawed and Fraudulent.

Amongst many other inconsistencies in the Will, there is also a conflict around Michael's location on the day he supposedly signed the Will, July 7, 2002. According to what is witnessed in the document, it is impossible and illogical that he could have been in two places at one time. We have evidence that undoubtedly supports and proves that Michael was absolutely not in Los Angeles, California, on the date of his signature reflected in the Will at-hand.

Our brother told us, in no uncertain terms and without hesitation in the months prior to his death, that he despised both of you and that he did not want either of you to have anything to do with his life or estate for that matter. We know that and you knew that. We believe you relied on the presumption that no one would be so bold as to suggest that you would perpetrate such unconscionable deceit; but you were wrong.

Tragically your deceitful actions abrogate our brother's hopes and dreams for the lives of his children, family and legacy. Even worse still is what you have done and continue to do right now to our mother since you fraudulently assumed the position as the executors of the estate of her son. You keep lying to her, you manipulate her, and you make promises that you know will never happen. In the midst of such promises, on two occascions, you've managed to get her to agree to increase your percentage of the gross income from our brother's estate.

She is an eighty-two year old woman. Your actions are affecting her health, and on top of that, we've just found out she recently had a mini-stroke. Please understand, she's not equipped to handle the stress load you are putting on her. She feels, as she has said, "I'm stuck in the middle". She too knows and acknowledges the Will was forged. She wants to do the right thing, and move in the direction of justice for her son and family, yet she fears the POWERS THAT BE.

However, for some strange reason her advisors Lowell Henry, Perry Sanders and Trent, although in agreement with her regarding the validity of the Will, are telling her to disregard what she knows as a fact. Instead, her so called advisors are convincing her to let them negotiate "deals" with Branca and McClain on her behalf, or is it on the behalf of all of you. Her advisors' loyalty seems to be skewed by the percentage you offer them, preventing them from advising her properly. She has been deceived and led to believe that like AEG, you the executors, Branca and McClain, are "just too powerful."

She is being hit from all sides. AEG is now evoking fear into our mother in an attempt to convince her to call off the wrongful death lawsuit against AEG. AEG has been very vocal about how they are going to destroy her and her family publicly and blame her for Michael's death. Since then, they've wasted no time harassing each and every family member, including Michael's children in a barrage of depositions, where they are asking personal, inappropriate and disrespectful questions that, to say the least, have nothing to do with his passing. This is something children should never have to experience; neither should an eighty-two year old woman. There has been no objection from you, the executors of Michael's estate, regarding AEGs heinous and heartless threats toward our mother, our family or his children. Why?

However, you did not hesitate writing a letter to Judge Palazuelos presiding over the AEG wrongul death case, wherein, you asked the judge to keep ALL documents handed over by AEG for discovery under court seal, clearly protecting AEG, but not protecting our mother nor our niece and nephews Paris, Prince and Blanket. Who are you working for? What is it that you don't want to be known?

We know there is most certainly a conspiracy surrounding our brother's death and now coarse manipulation and fear are being used to cover it up. Your heartless pursuit of wealth, fame and power is at the expense of our family, whose deepest desire is to give to the world a gift of hope, love and unity through our music. Though we have lost our brother, we live and will continue to fight in unity.

THIS HAS TO STOP NOW; NO MORE!! You will not succeed. John Branca, after our brother passed, you said to our mother, "I AM MICHAEL JACKSON NOW." How dare you. Make no mistake, Mr. Branca, before we hit the stage, we were a family and still to this day we are a family. We're not going to let anyone abuse our mother, nor will we tolerate any further attempts to divide us.

You've dishonored everything that our brother Michael stood for. Your greed and hasty business decisions have shown that you have no regard for the preservation of his legacy, nor the quality of work that he exemplified. You have disrespected our parents and family too many times. We do not respect you as executors, and we don't respect the projects and choices you've made, nor do we appreciate the public perception that the Jackson family is behind all of this, exploiting Michael our brother for financial gain, when clearly it's the two of you and your affiliates who do so.

We are going to take every appropriate action to seek justice and to see to it that the truth be known. Be informed, we are considering retaining the law firm, Baker Hostetler, who have advised us on the potential criminal misconduct in your actions. We will hand this over to the proper authorities.






Tariano Jackson (Tito Jackson) SIGNED
Randy Jackson SIGNED
Jermaine Jackson SIGNED
Janet Jackson SIGNED
Maureen Brown (Rebbie Jackson) SIGNED

Yeah that was the problem. There were three witnesses who all signed yet none of them pointed out the fact that they were on the opposite side of the country to where they were supposed to be. They signed right underneath where it says Los Angeles. But they weren't in LA. Was this ever brought up in court when the family challenged the will? I just wonder what the official explanation is from the Estate and from the legal side.
 
Is it really possible to know how things are by following it on the outside? Without being involved, how does anyone know what is really going on? I don't feel I have any wisdom in how all of this should go or who should be in charge or what the best outcome would be or what any ulterior motives of anyone are.

I read opinions on here but am no more knowledgeable than I was before. Do people just pick a side and go for it or what? I might want the best for MJs family but what is the best for them? I have no idea. It has nothing to do with me, so I can only observe.

*Pointless post*(don't know why I'm writing it)

Whether or not Michael "liked" either executor, the fact remains that Michael chose them to manage his estate in his genuine bonafide will. Katherine and the children are the beneficiaries, Diana Ross was the preferred guardian should Katherine be unable to mind Michael's children. The Jacksons were left out deliberately by Michael, now three years after his death they decide to start complaining as the Estate exits debt and enters an era where it will generate hundreds of millions of dollars. Branca and McClain are excellent businessmen; the more the estate makes, the more they will make. Michael might not have liked them personally (and I'm not saying I believe he didn't like them) but the fact remains they are ensuring the estate profits which is in the best interest of Katherine, the kids, and even us the fan community because it has and should continue to deliver high quality MJ products like Cirque, This Is It, BAD25, etc...

Oh boy. Well I'm pretty sure US law is the same as Canadian in this respect. There can be legal documents that are not witnessed, but to witness something without actually having witnessed it is not legal.
 
When they are of age, Michael Jackson'children, and only they; will make the decisions concernng their father's estate.
If necessary, Prince Jackson at 16 years of age can apply to be emancipated (declared to be an adult) ; so Randy and the other Jackson siblings will stay out of their affairs.
