Exactly. I do believe they have the right to request the documents. And they should be viewed with the confidentiality stipulations the executors are demanding. But a part of me wishes Branca & co. would tell them all f-you and turn everything over to them. Their in fighting, ineptitude, and inexperience would destroy all the acheivements made in the last three years. In another three years, there wouldn't be much left for MJ's kids. That's the only reason I do hope Branca & co. hangs in. As always, for MJ's children. But they have to be getting tired of dealing with all this nonsense, considering how hard they've worked and the massive accomplishments they've achieved. I'm tired for them.
At this point, Katherine should be thanking them. There's nothing wrong with her being a little wary of them because when it comes to MJ, I'll always be wary. MJ was betrayed too often and by too many for there not to be a residue of caution about anyone overseeing his interests. But when you consider what Branca has accomplished, Katherine should be at least acknowledging those accomplishments and showing some appreciation. Instead, she makes a request like this after all of last month's allegations which by virtue of it coming now, casts major suspicion on them.
As much as she DOES have every right to make the request, it's coming from a negative place. She's not wanting to review things for review sake, but for her unproductive children who are looking for any little thing to latch on to to bark deception and malice. I really am beginning to believe what other posters have said. Katherine is 82 and they want to get a foothold in now before it's too late.
She better hope Branca doesn't get so fed up that he does quit. Soon she'd have nothing left to audit.
ETA: Just noticed this was filed around the kidnapping time. Interesting how everything ties into it. Or rather just obvious.
