Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, fired her to attorneys in her battle over her son's probate estate. Initially Mrs. Jackson didn't hire a probate attorney to represent her a rather attorneys without particular expertise in probate. Mrs. Jackson hired a new attorney, a probate litigator, to represent her. Mrs. Jackson was apparently dissatisfied with the two attorney, she had representing her and decided she needed a tried-and-true probate litigator to represent her in the ongoing battles over her son's estate.
One of the interesting lessons of this episode is one that's lost on so many probate litigants. Mrs. Jackson was dissatisfied with their attorneys and fired them. Far too often, probate litigants trudge along with an attorney that makes them uncomfortable or in whom they have little confidence. No one has to do that. If you are litigating a probate case then take a lesson from Katherine Jackson, get yourself a new probate attorney. If you're not satisfied with the attorney you have now.
