^^ and guardian ad litem. it doesn't explicitly say who the request came from. one news source said that it was attorney general
Katherine and family doesn't want to sell. Katherine doesn't want to live there but she want to keep it for parties , weddings and such things.
They said they reduced debt obligations by more than $90 million and refinanced loans at lower interest rates.

When Jackson died, he had debts of more than $400 million, and his estate administrators said earlier this year that they had used $159 million to pay down those debts.

$159 million? $90 million ? which one is actual number?
both actually
debt reduction of $90 million happened by reduction of the interest rates on the loans.
For example if you have a $1000 debt with 20% you will have interest of $200. If you manage to lower your interest to 10% the interest rate will be $100. That's a saving of $100.
So they saved / reduced the amount they need to pay by $90M just by refinancing.
Then they payed $159 Million for the debts.
So again if we go with my simplified example. It's like this
$1000 loan with 20% interest , interest debt is $200
- refinancing with 10% , interest debt is now $100
- pay back $50, the final debt is now $50
so it is like $200 original debt - $100 savings/reduction - $50 payment = $50 current debt.
So if I get this straight. Say the debt was $400 million and they reduced the debt by 90 million by reducing interest rate so the new debt is $310 million? They pay $159 now and the new total is $151 million? That's pretty good and on the right track. The interest rates are what gets people and takes forever to pay off. Michael was smart having Branca and Mcclain. They clearly know what they are doing and the kids and Katherine are benefitting from it. These things take time.
im sure the estate know very well what will happen if they keep the house it will become a dumping ground for everyones kids and they will be back to sq one interms of paying for everyone else. its illogical to just keep a big house for parties etc. someones gonna end up living in it.which imo would the purpose of k asking to keep it ontop of having a new house.About wanting the house for weddings and parties, whose weddings and parties is she talking about? Does she mean members of the family or rent it out to friends to have parties and weddings there? It seems a waste to simply keep a house to have weddings and parties. How many weddings are we expecting from one family per month? Unless this is a super duper party family, how many parties is expected to take place per month, for this idea to be viable?I know sometimes corporations keep a property for parties and meetings, but there is a way to deduct this on the books for tax purposes.
Jermaine tweeted that the story of selling Hayvenhurst is false. He said his mother does not know where that report came from.

Guys Rockstar just said that she saw an article where they are saying that Michaael left 19 million, so I guess the media is at it again!!! When it comes to figures, the smallest number always seem more attractive to them.
I am sorry Petra I am confused...19 million to what or who?
No surely not, but I'm afraid dear Katherine's gotta make up her mind, as to where she wants to live, she cant expect the Estate to buy her a 10 million plus house AND keep the other (which would require maintenance costs etc) for ''parties and weddings'' how many more times r her senior children going to marry and divorce? While she intends to live in a brand new more luxurious home, she wants to keep the other one so that her useless offspring and their dozens of kids can occupy it. Ain't gonna happen, she needs to make up her mind, I can definitely see why the Estate wants to sell the other house when Mrs desperately wants to live in another brand new multi million dollar mansion.She may not own it, but I would think that nobody would force her to give up a home she's had for 40 years?
