Michael Jackson's Will May Be a Setup
By :
Berber
Michael Jackson's will almost certainly has mistakes. Look, the attorneys are charging big bucks, and the family is already in court even though a family trust was in place. All we know at this point is that his mother is named by the will as primary guardian and Diana Ross as secondary guardian. The 2002 will names his attorney John Branca, whom he fired in 2006, and John McClain, an old friend, as executors. Jackson created a family trust, but the buzz is that his will gives pieces of his estate to a few charities and his mother and children. Gossip has it that the will gives all of his estate to the trust. There are apparent problems with the way the will and his estate were drawn up.
It isn't necessary for you to make the same mistakes it looks like Jackson has made, even though you are in a more modest financial position.
First, avoid the mistake of letting your attorney be executor of your estate. Your lawyer should never be appointed as your executor, even if he is your close counselor. It's nearly malpractice for the attorney that drafts the will to appoint himself as executor. Unexplained things happen without a challenge. The attorney who had Jackson's will took quite a while to come forth. Why? Burt Levitch filed for custody of the children on behalf of Katherine Jackson, and after his legal proceeding had begun, suddenly a will is produced. Clearly, Mr. Branca had to realize the will needed to come forth. An attorney doesn't just draft a will for someone like Michael Jackson and stick it in the filing cabinet and not remember.
Second, circumvent the guardian blunder.Michael Jackson ought to have drawn up his will with provisions restricting the appointment of guardians for his children.In the will, Jackson's mother is first choice, and Diana Ross is second choice as guardian. The lawyer, Mr. Branca, should have made the will so that Jackson's mother was his first choice provided she had good health or provided that she was under a certain age. Provisions controlling Diana Ross' appointment could also have been outlined if the will dropped to the second choice of guardian. This list could include provisions that Diana Ross raise the children in a certain religion, or send them to a specific school, or keep them out of the public eye, or that she raise the children in Neverland. There is unlimited potential for these statements. Don't get carried away with the possibilities, but choose the provisos that are really important to you when you draft your will.
I go through the various provisions in my book Guaranteed Millionaire, so you can understand and make a wise choice.
Ultimately, in the case of Michael Jackson, the children's biological mother has not been completely removed from the case. The biological mother of Michael Jackson's first two children is Debbie Rowe, and a surrogate mother bore his third child, Prince Michael II (Blanket). As part of the surrogacy contract, the surrogate mother certainly gave up all her rights to Prince Michael II.Nevertheless, it is just about impossible to remove a biological mother from the picture if she wants to mother her children. Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe formally divorced in 1999, but it wasn't until much later that they worked out custody terms for their children. Michael and Debbie's custody agreement is secret; the terms of their divorce were not released. Michael Jackson has had custody of the children since 2006. Debbie's parental rights are not relinquished by a custody arrangement.
Although we don't know if she will try, there is a fair chance Debbie could obtain custody of her biological children and possibly Prince Michael II if she decides to press her parental rights in court.

Celebrity Perfumes - What to Buy
By :
Gen Wright
The market for perfumes and fragrances has always been a saturated market full of a wide variety of products, brands, scents and prices.
Competing with the pop stars are fashion icons Sarah Jessica Parker and Victoria Beckham. Parker has put two popular fragrances out on the market that are doing very well. Many women have envied her ever since her role in the show, "Sex and the City" and this has transitioned over to the perfume market. The most popular fragrance for Parker is "Covet." It conveys a very relaxed yet distinct smell through the combined mix of lemon, chocolate, honeysuckle and magnolia among other things. Victoria Beckham on the other hand does very well promoting her perfume as well, "Intimate." It is a more intense scent than Parker's and is more of a floral perfume made from flowers and rose petals.
