Entering into a business relationship with Michael Jackson rarely meant a long-lasting partnership. Over time, especially in the waning years of his life, Jackson hired — then fired — a litany of associates, Shaun The Sheep 1-2 dvd, from managers to attorneys to publicists.

Most were dispatched after the relationship soured, and the trust had evaporated.
Perhaps the one exception in his financial life was Jackson's mother, Baby First dvd series, Asterix collection, Bugs Bunny dvd set, Katherine.
Jackson relied on his 79-year-old mother for more than emotional support: Documents show he put her in the position of trustee on contracts, Asterix boxset, Dora the Explorer dvd set, including his lucrative Sony-ATV catalog, Asterix collection, Snoopy complete seasons, Bugs Bunny on dvd, and associates say he also sought her input on other financial matters as he became more wary of those in his business circle.
"Any deal Michael did, he always called his mother up," said Steve Manning, a close friend of the Jackson family. "She was the backbone of his spirit."
"What he trusted was that she would make sure that his wishes were carried out," said Mrs. Jackson's attorney, L. Londell McMillan, who is representing her interests as the singer's estate is sorted out. "He understood that she was the most loyal person in his life. Her loyalty did not stop for Michael with merely personal matters."
But Jackson's last known will, Bugs Bunny dvd box, drafted in 2002, left his mother, Courage the Cowardly Dog dvd box, Kim Possible dvd series, along with his three children, Charlie and Lola complete box set, out of any decision-making role in his estate, leaving her only as a beneficiary.
Attorney John Branca and Jackson's former manager and close friend, John McClain, were named (along with a third party who has since removed himself) as the only people with the authority to guide his business matters after his death.
Mrs. Jackson is trying to change that, seeking to gain some kind of control over her late son's estate. The Jackson matriarch is adamant that she — or even another family member — have a role over Michael Jackson's business legacy, which may be worth more in death than when he was alive. Some estimates have valued his estate at $500 million.
Mrs. Jackson has filed a motion to determine whether contesting the two executors would lead to disinheritance — Jackson's will had a no-contest clause.
"She is concerned about how the trust is going to be managed. She wants to make sure that she has a seat at the table and the family has a seat at the table, Cow and Chicken dvds," said Dean Hansell, Dora the Explorer dvd box set, South Park dvd series, POKO dvd series, an attorney who spoke for Mrs. Jackson in court Monday. "She wants that and she has been coming up against resistance."
But in an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Branca said he is amenable to having Mrs. Jackson, or someone in the family, Super why complete seasons, Baby First dvds, leapfrog on dvd, Charlie and Lola boxset, Thomas & Friends dvd, Go Diego Go boxset, in a trustee role.
"We are going to have a meaningful conversation with her about having one of her family members become a co-trustee," Branca said. "Our number one priority is to make sure this estate is run effectively."
Throughout the years, Baby First dvd series, Teletubbies dvd box, Charlie Brown dvd box set, In the Night Garden boxset, The Simpsons dvd box set, Thomas & Friends dvd, Daria on dvd, Jackson's devotion to his mother has been well-documented, Snoopy dvds, Teletubbies collection, and it was proven again after his death, as he named her in his will as his first choice to raise his three children, and also named her and his kids as the only individuals to inherit his fortune (he also left a portion of his wealth to charity).
Katherine Jackson has not previously been known for her business acumen. It was Joe Jackson who was the manager of his sons as the Jackson 5, and acted as the manager for all of his nine children into their adult years.
But Manning claims it was Katherine, not Joe, Fireman Sam dvd, Super why dvd, who gave Michael Jackson his business sense, which he described as shrewd and fair.
He recalled when Jackson purchased the Beatles catalog, which also included Little Richard's music, Fireman Sam collection, he called his mother to ask her opinion on how he should handle Little Richard's situation: the rock legend had for years complained about being unfairly compensated for his publishing rights. His mother advised him to treat Little Richard with respect, and because of that, "(Michael) made sure that Little Richard was compensated fairly."
He also said that when Michael Jackson's MJJ Productions fell on hard times, "Michael made sure with his mother that every employee was paid."
