Michael Jackson’s Family Demands Estate’s Executors Resignation, Effective Immediately: ‘Fake, Flawed and Fraudulent’

ich verfolge das thema auch grade...ich könnte kotzen.
was soll die scheisse? glauben die, man muss nur alle jahre wieder mal ne klage einreichen, dann erledigt sich das problem?
die leute vom estate (sind ja nicht nur branca und mcCLain, da sind ja noch ne reihe weiterer involviert,
nicht zuletzt anwälte, und ne art 'aufsicht' für die interessen der kinder, ausserdem müssen sie alle großen entscheidungen absegnen lassen.

was wollen die denn? dass die -sorry, aber ist so - in geschäftssachen dumme, ahnungslose kitkat da mitmischt?
oder der notgeile alte joe, der mike bis zum ende immer anbettelte und ALLES in den sand setzte, was er anfing, nach mike?
ganz davon ab, dass die jenseits der 80 sind...
und mike sicher seine guten gründe hatte, diese parasiten allesamt auszuschließen!

aber ja, die kriegen mit, dass es nun wieder bad25 gibt, dass es merchandise gibt, dass bücher, dokus, musicals und tausend dinge mehr
auf den markt kommen. da kommt man wohl wieder in versuchung, auch nen stück vom kuchen zu wollen.

sorry, aber der clan ist rundum widerlich, was geldsachen angeht. und zwar ausnahmslos!

Michael Jackson’s Family Demands Estate’s Executors Resignation, Effective Immediately: ‘Fake, Flawed and Fraudulent’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Michael Jackson‘s family has demanded the executors of their late brother’s estate resign effective immediately, confirms Celebuzz.

In a scathing letter — obtained exclusively by Celebuzz and signed by Michael’s sisters Janet, Rebbie and brothers Tito, Randy and Jermaine Jackson — the family maintains that executors John Branca and John McClain faked the King of Pop’s last Will and Testament prior to his untimely death on June 25, 2009.

“At the time we couldn’t possibly fathom what is so obvious to us now: that the Will, without question, it’s Fake, Flawed and Fraudulent,” states the legal letter.

Received by Branca and McClain Tuesday, the Jackson family accuses the executors of falsifying a legal document in order to gain control of Michael’s estate against his wishes and using the court to seal any documents that might prove otherwise.

“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,” says the Jackson’s letter. ”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.”

The letter from the family also goes on to point out numerous inconsistencies, as well as alleged missing pages of Michael Jackson’s will.

Michael's Family have once again united

“John Branca, when we called you regarding the Will you didn’t want to interrupt your vacation,” the family contends.”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.’”

“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. 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.”

The Jacksons also threaten to escalate their claims to police for investigation of “potential criminal misconduct,” as well as having law firm Baker Hosteller launch legal action against the pair.

“We are going to take every appropriate action to seek justice and to see to it that the truth be known,” the letter states.

“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.”

The Jacksons accuse the executors of robbing Michael’s children, Prince Michael Jr, 15, Paris, 14 and Prince Michael II “Blanket,“ 10, and his mother, Katherine Jenkins, of rightful inheritances by increasing the percentage of the gross income the executors receive from the estate, as well as mismanaging projects the estate undertakes.

“Tragically your deceitful actions abrogate our brother’s hopes and dreams for the lives of his children, family and legacy,” the letter states.

Additionally, the family accuses executors Branca and McCalin of manipulating the court system during Michael’s mother’s wrongful death lawsuit against AEG, the entertainment company behind the star’s final tour.

The Jacksons say the company is using “heinous and heartless threats” against Jackson’s 82-year-old mother — who they reveal recently had a “mini-stroke” — to call off the suit.

“AEG has been very vocal about how they are going to destroy her and her family publicly and blame her for Michael’s death,” the family says.

“However, you did not hesitate writing a letter to Judge Palazuelos presiding over the AEG wrongful 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,” the letter contends.

“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.”

The family state in no uncertain terms they will stand united to ensure the executors step down:

“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, were a family and still to this day we are a family.”

Noticeably missing from the group of signatures, however, are Michael’s other siblings Jackie, Marlon and his outspoken sister LaToya Jackson.

interessant ist doch auch, dass man nen 'offenen brief' via internet schreibt. das macht man doch vor allem, um auf den busch zu klopfen,
und stimmung gegen den estate zu machen. wenn man 'seriöse gründe' hätte, würde man das ganz korrekt vor gericht klären lassen - und ende.
ich hoffe, die sippe schießt sich damit noch weiter ins aus.
und die dämlichen unterstellungen ohne beweise sind für mich einfach lächerlich. denke nicht, dass ein richter das - unter diesen umständen - anders sieht.

vor allem schnallen die nicht, dass es hier NICHT um sie, die 'familie' geht, sondern rein geschäftlich
und ansehen von MICHAL zu vertreten, sein erbe zu mehren, für SEINE kinder.
ende gelände.
der estate ist - und das ist immer so - ein geschäftskonstrukt um möglichst viel zu verdienen, die marke
weiterleben zu lassen.
das ist nicht nur bei mj so. siehe elvis, das ist ja wohl der inbegriff des perfekten estates.
da wird seit 35 jahren eine geldmaschine am laufen gehalten. ("elvis" twittert sogar ;D)

wäre irgendeine dieser griffel vom clan involviert, wäre weder der schuldenberg weg, noch würde man künftig
weiterverdienen und positives ansehen gewinnen.

wahrscheinlich wäre die kohle die reinkommt schneller verbraten als denen was neues einfiele um fans abzuzocken...

noch was...so wie das aussieht, haben da nur leute unterschrieben, die eh NICHT im testament benannt sind....
von kitkat seh ich nix
ich vermute dass es um nen schachzug geht, weil wohl der aeg-prozess nicht den weg geht, wie der clan es wünscht...

Das wird wohl nie aufhören
Alles Blutsauger, haben Ihr Leben lang von Mike gelebt und das soll natürlich so weitergehen
Diese Unity Tour läuft ja auch nicht so wie gewünscht, also ran an die nächste Geldquelle

meine güte, das ist ja zum wieder mal zum kotzen. aber typisch dieser clan! und diese ganze sch*** haben die jahrelang mit michael abgezogen! und der dumme kerl zahlt auch noch länge mal breite.
branca etc. als verwalter seines erbes einzusetzen und die regelung des testaments an sich, lässt mich nach wie vor vor michael den hut ziehen. das ist gut durchdacht und zum großen teil auch sehr gut umgesetzt.
warum wir alle (noch) so eine positive grundstimmung gegenüber janet haben, kann ich mir langsam nur noch mit ihrer glanzvollen laudatio "how to become a legend" erklären... der ganze clan wird immer undurchsichtiger und hinterlistiger. und da wachsen michaels kinder jetzt auf? na bravo!
da sind die paar harmlosen twitter bildchen die paris postet nicht mal der rede wert - ich hoffe, dass wir nicht bald mal ne klage aufm tisch haben, in denen die kinder michael verklagen. aber bei dem einfluss rund herum würds mich ehrlich gesagt nicht einmal überraschen... *grrr*

Das geilste ist ja der Vorwurf, die hätten den Estate nicht gut geführt und die Mutter irgendwie ausgenutzt oder was weiß ich. Wie lächerlich!
Die haben hunderte von Millionen erwirtschaftet und die Mutter kriegt schon seit Ewigkeiten von diesem Howard Mann ins Hirn geschi**en. Alter (Nachlass)Verwalter...

nicht zu vergessen, dass DER ESTATE ihre anwalts/gerichtskosten bezahlt (hat, bisher).

denen passt es nicht, dass der estate ins plus kommt, somit die verwalter eben AUCH höhere gagen bekommen, und der haufen in die röhre guckt!
(mutter und kids bekommen ihre gelder ja prozentual zum erlös, die haben somit eig. keinen grund für klagen...)

die wollen die verwalter raus haben, um selber in der kohle zu schwimmen - nix weiter.
alles wie immer. mit allen mitteln, und egal wie lächerlich auch immer das ist.
und ich bleib dabei, die klage gegen aeg spielt dabei eine nicht unwichtige rolle...die wurde ja auch über randy angeleiert.

wenn ich jetzt das, was ich über die familie denke, hier in worten zusammenfassen würde, würde man mich hier aus dem klub rausschmeißen. nicht jugendfreie gedanken...

My take

Zitat

Dear Mr Branca and Mr McClain,

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

3 years later? You knew all the "issues" with the will and how they run the Estate but you waited 3 years?

Zitat

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.

Zitat

Since 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.

just last week it's announced that the Estate earned $475 Million, almost paid all the debt. Furthermore the Estate bought a new house, renovated Hayvenhurst, paid Katherine's debt to Moonies, provided her loans, and is now considering Katherine's request for more money. From every account they did perform their duties.

Zitat

Your egregious behavior first become 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,

So Randy is admitting that they called Branca about the will , yet they went to the court saying Michael died without a will. Basically is he admitting to perjury on their part? You might remember that Guardian ad Litem - I think- claimed that Katherine knew about the will. This does verify that Jacksons made a move for the Estate & Executor position with knowing damn well that a will exists.

Zitat

at which time you presented to our family an incomplete Will. The Will you presented did not have our brothers 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.”

so? the guy had just came from a vacation, he did find the full will and filed it with the court

Zitat

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

Did it take you 3 years to realize this? Actually no it didn't. Joe filed an objection and got rejected. Even Katherine were given the option to challenge the executors without losing her beneficiary position, yet she didn't follow it through. So you knew the will was "fake, flawed and fraudulent" from the start and you made legal moves against it. As Estate is saying Jacksons are again bringin up stale theories.

Zitat

Amongst many other inconsistencies in the Will, there is also 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.

Another same old point. Wasn't this issue already solved by witnesses saying that they wrote the wrong place? There you have it.

Zitat

Our brother told us, in no uncertain terms and without hesitation in the moths 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.

So is the theory that before his death, Michael was going around talking about his death and his Estate and giving statements of who he hates? Yet he never made a new will and he rehired Branca. So hearsay at best.

Zitat

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 laying to her, you manipulate her, and you make promises that you know will never happen.

$475 M in earnings, top earning artist, top US tour, top film, debt free, excuse me but what is the complaint here?

Zitat

In the midst of such promises, on two occasions, you’ve managed to get her to agree to increase your percentage of the gross income from out brother’s estate.

Their fee was only increased once. From 5% to 7%.

Zitat

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 is not equipped to handle the stress load you are putting her. She feels, as she said, “I’m stuck on the middle”. She too knows and acknowledges the Will was forged. She wants to do the right thing, and move on in the direction of justice for her son and family, yet she fears the POWERS THAT BE.

If she's in the "middle" that means there's another side to this middle which is these siblings. If you don't want to put her to the "middle" then do not start this ish.

Zitat

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 fact.

I'm guessing the "strange" reason is probably because her advisors know that she can lose her beneficiary position if she challenges the will with hearsay and such. What she thinks she knows doesn't matter unless she can prove it. Didn't you learn this from AEG case? For example saying " Michael told me he hated Branca" is hearsay, Branca simply can counter that with producing his 2009 hiring letter.

Zitat

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 advisor’s 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”.

Zitat

She is being hit from all sides

The only reason she's being hit by AEG is because she sued them. It's not like AEG started to harass her out of blue.

Zitat

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 waisted 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 AEG heinous and heartless threats toward our mother, our family or his children. Why?

Let me tell you why because you sued then and made heinous claims against them and they are defending themselves. It's their basic legal right to question their accuser. If Katherine and MJ's kids refuse depositions and/or answering questions, AEG can get the case dismissed. (remember MJ- Vaccaro lawsuit in 2005 when Michael didn't sit for his deposition?).

Estate is a unrelated party in this lawsuit. What is Katherine's 7 lawyers are good for? Why can't they object? Oh wait they did.

Zitat

However, you did not hesitate writing a letter to Judge Palazuelos presiding over the AEG wrongful death case, wherein, you asked the judge to keep ALL documents handed over by AEG for discover 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?

I don't believe this because you don't write letters to judges making requests about the cases, you file motions. There was no such motion.

Plus the documents handed over discovery is not public either to start with , it's not like Katherine or AEG is lodging the 140 or 220,000+ pages with the court. They do not. They just give it to the other side.

Furthermore there's a confidentiality agreement between AEG and KJ, and any such thing is only stopping the sides from making the documents public themselves in other words leaking them. That gives Katherine the right to mark documents as confidential as well and guess what they marked Tito's deposition as confidential. They can simply mark KJ's and MJ's kids responses, documents, depositions etc as confidential as well. They don't need Estate to defend them, they have the power to protect themselves.

If and when any of the discovery is used during the trial, it becomes public record.

Zitat

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 lost our brother, we live and will continue to fight in unity.

The biggest lie is that Jacksons are in "unity" who are they kidding? They aren't in unity at all. Half of the family didn't sign this, half of the family are working with the Estate. There's no such thing as "unity" when it comes to Jacksons.

Zitat

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 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

.

Again no unity. And MJ Estate is Michael Jackson, Jackson family isn't Michael Jackson. It might be hard to accept for the Jacksons but this is the reality.

Zitat

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.

And what Jacksons did was high quality and for preservation of MJ's legacy? Let me list them
- cheap belts
- deals with porn producer Mann & Vaccaro who Michael fought against for years
- cheap perfume with a fraudster
- a museum that could not even get not for profit certification

The list is too long but there's nothing there of quality. On the other side you have the number 1 concert movie TII and number one concert Cirque. Michael is on the list of top selling artists - alive & dead.

Zitat

You have disrespected our parents and family too many times. We do not respect you as executors, and we do not respect the projects and choices you’ve made, nor do we appreciate the public perception the the Jackson family is behind all of this, exploiting Michael our brother for finacial gain, when clearly it’s the two of you and your affiliates who do so.

It's no secret that they don't respect the Estate executors, it's shown from their every attempt that goes behind them. so this is no surprise. The public perception has nothing to do with MJ Estate. If people have the perception that Jacksons are exploiting Michael, it's due to the deals they make. For example if you go into business with Vaccaro who turned over evidence to Sneddon, the people will think you are in it for financial gain and exploiting Michael. It got nothing to do with MJ Estate.

Zitat

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

Yes please do. This the same old thing 3 years later recycled is getting old. Take it to the court, challenge the will, challenge the executors and end this for once and for all. For once put your money where your mouth is and stop creating dramas when there's a new project or there's a good development for the Estate. Let's end this.
