Decisions that Last a Lifetime...Or Longer
Apparently Michael Jackson nominated his mother to serve as the legal guardian of his kids in the event of his death, per his will lodged with the probate court and distributed through Internet sites.
His will was executed in July 2002, 7 years ago exactly as of July the 7th. The question I wonder is the following: Does this will really reflect what he would have wanted for his children as of the past year or so? Maybe it does.
But given how much he seemed to change over his own lifetime across so many areas of his personality and persona, it is surprising that he hadn't changed his will more recently.
So, essentially whatever he was feeling in July 2002, will now rule the lives of his children--through the choice of legal guardians, and potentially how financially he has provided for his kids in his trust, which may or may not have also been updated since July 2002.
