XML FeedsWhere There's a Will, There's a Way to Keep Michael Jackson in the News

Just in case the round-the-clock coverage of the death of phenomenally famous—albeit disturbingly bizarre—Michael Jackson hasn't quite satiated your appetite for news about the King of Pop, a new tidbit has arisen. I'm talking about Jackson's will—something family members had denied existed.
Well, if it's validated as an authentic last will and testament of Michael Jackson, then the very least I can say is that he did the smart thing by having one.
A lot of artists don't give much thought to wills. A lot of artists don't make much money from their art, and so they suppose a will or a living trust would just be more bother and expense that it's worth. But what they forget is that their art is something of value that can be bequeathed to heirs. After all, intellectual property is property.
If you've created art, you have something you can leave behind to those you love. Make sure you don't forget to include it in your will.
