Perhaps you have heard that Michael Jackson has passed away. During the past week, there have been a ton of interesting messages flying around about the King of Pop.
Sources and stories are speculating about his family’s involvement in his memorial … possible medicines he had been taking … and the possibility that his children might actually not be his.
And, his father’s new business venture made headlines. Not because of the actual venture but because of his timing for discussing it. This could be a separate post itself.
The coverage has been intense and overwhelming. It’s hard to sort it all out, but here is an interesting one. A major point of discussion centers around his will. And, here we have a terrific example of reversing course.
News organizations across the globe reported that the family – in court – said that no will existed for Michael. None. In turn, his mother would be the administrator of his estate.
Fast forward one day later. There is a will. Change in plans.
In response, here is what the lawyer representing the family said to the press: My clients are now aware after filings that a will has been presented. His various advisers over time are looking for additional documents.
There are some great phrases in here: “now aware” … “various advisers over time” ... “additional documents” …
Changing direction happens. New facts surface all the time. It always how you explain it that seems to be most interesting. What went from being a definitive statement – there is no will – is now so open-ended that the possibilities of what’s to come are endless.
…Can’t wait to see what “documents” these “advisers” find.
