Did MJ Have a Plan?

I have a hard time believing the rumors that Michael Jackson died without a will. In my day-to-day as an estate planning attorney, I come across many a wealthy client that, for any variety of reasons, has not completed their estate plan.

Surely, however, with the sea of attorneys that MJ has had around him over the years, someone must have thought to insist that he get his affairs in order! This article from Business Week is interesting regardless. I guess time will tell.

Interestingly another celebrity estate debate, the Anna Nicole Smith estate debacle, is coming to my home town of Seattle.

Have I mentioned that you should have an estate plan? ;)
