Enter a business relationship with Michael Jackson rarely means a long-term partnership. Over time, especially in declining years of his life, Jackson hired – then fired – a litany of partners, the directors of the lawyers for the advertisers.

Most were sent after the relationship sour, and confidence had evaporated.

Perhaps the only exception in your financial life is the mother of Jackson, Katherine.

Jackson relied on his 79-year-old mother of more than emotional support: The papers show that put her in the position of manager of contracts, including its lucrative Sony-ATV catalog, and associates say they also applied for entry into other financial matters as he became more cautious in their business circle.

"All I try Michael always called her mother," said Steve Manning, a close friend of the Jackson family. "She was the backbone of his spirit."

"What we are confident that she would ensure that their wishes have been carried out," said the lawyer for Ms. Jackson, L. Londell McMillan, who represents their interests as the singer’s estate is settled. "He understands that she was the most loyal person in your life. His loyalty did not stop Michael only personal matters."

But Jackson last will, drafted in 2002, left his mother with her three children, any decision based on his farm, leaving as his sole beneficiary.

Jackson lawyer John Branca and former manager and friend, John McClain, were nominated (along with a third party who has removed himself) as the only authority to guide their business after his death.

Ms. Jackson is trying to change that, trying to get some control over her late son estate. The Jackson matriarch is convinced that she – or even another family member – have a role in Michael Jackson’s business legacy, which may merit the death penalty only if he was alive. Some estimates have valued his assets at $ 500 million.

Ms. Jackson has filed a motion to determine whether the objection of the two executors would disinheritance – Jackson was a no-contest clause.

"She was concerned about how the trust will be managed. She wants to make sure you have a seat at the table and the family has a seat at the table," said Dean Hansell, a lawyer who spoke of Ms. Jackson in court on Monday. "She wants her and has been coming against the resistance.

But in an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Branca said that lend themselves to Ms. Jackson or someone in the family, according to an administrator.

"We’re going to have a conversation with her on one of your family members become a co-manager," said Branca. "Our number one priority is to ensure that this farm is run effectively."

Throughout the years, Jackson devotion to his mother has been well documented, and was shown again after his death, as the name in his will as their first choice to raise their three children, and her name and their children as only the people to inherit his fortune (which also made it a part of his fortune to charity).

Katherine Jackson has been known for its business acumen. It was Joe Jackson, who was the manager of their children as the Jackson 5, and served as manager of all his nine children in their adulthood.

However, that the envelope was Katherine, not Joe, that Michael Jackson gave his business sense, which he described as just and wise.

He recalled when Jackson bought the Beatles catalog, which also included the music of Little Richard, called his mother to ask his opinion on how to handle the situation of Little Richard: The legend of the rock for years had complained of being unfairly compensated the publication of their rights. His mother advised him that the treatment of Little Richard on, and because, "(Michael) made sure that Little Richard was compensated fairly."

He also said that when Michael Jackson’s MJJ Productions fell on hard times, "Michael said his mother that all employees are paid."

"She is a woman of great faith, and if you think you treat people well (good) things will return to you."

Jackson, on behalf of his mother hoped at least two – in addition to the music of Sony-ATV catalog, which is a part of its editorial Mijac – and McMillan said he was active in Jackson’s business, including attending depositions in legal cases .

However, a source who requested anonymity because of the ongoing nature of the state president said that these positions have no authority to make decisions.

If Ms. Jackson has the ability of business to deal with the estate of Jackson, which is complicated and entangled, it is probably a key issue. She and Joe went bankrupt 10 years ago, listing almost $ 24 million in debts, including court orders, auto loans and credit cards. Show only records of the court was a valuable asset given a house in Las Vegas, then valued at $ 290,000.

On Monday, the newspaper of South Korea Segye Times, by Michael Jackson to pay the estate of a nearly $ 7.9 million against the decision of Joe and Katherine Jackson and Jermaine to his son in 1994. The paper claimed in 1990 through a series of concerts involving the Jacksons in Seoul that never happened.

McMillan said that the role of an administrator does not need a person to be an ace of companies.

"A manager is one of confidence rather than extraordinary ability," he said. "Trustees hire experts to manage business that requires experts."

Manning, said Ms. Jackson is convinced that his legal team would make an excellent job with their orientation. He also raised the possibility that one of the five Jackson brothers could have a role in the farm: "That would be the right thing, the right thing to happen."

Legally, Ms. Jackson may not be able to take a formal role. Both Branca and Hansell said the addition of Katherine as an executor of the will or a trustee of the trust could raise tax issues because it is a beneficiary.

Branca was Jackson’s lawyer for many years, working with him during the height of his fame and helping to negotiate its agreement to buy the Beatles catalog. However, they split up in 2005 Branca was returned shortly before the death of Jackson, as he prepared for his return to the concert promoter AEG.

McClain has been very close with the family for decades and was instrumental in creating the career of Janet Jackson. He has also played key roles in the career of Michael Jackson in their later years.

Manning spoke highly of the McClain, saying he was "like a son to the parents of Jackson.

"He is a confidant," he said. "It was very, very close family."

Branca and Jackson McClain is in control of the estate until at least October 3. They already have several offers on behalf of Jackson property, including a new publication of his memoirs "Moonwalk" and a long movie filled with scenes of his latest tests, which requires the approval of a judge. In a sign of entry and Katherine Jackson are considered critical, the judge has scheduled a hearing for Monday to see, among other things, if you have any objection.

However, McMillan Jackson claims their mother would have wanted to be part of any dealmaking and citing Jackson’s feelings about his mother in a deposition: "Over recent years I have started using my mother because she is the person above confidence in my life. I trust my mother more than anyone. "
