Shakeup in Jackson legal team

Los Angeles: A shakeup in Katherine Jackson`s legal team left her unrepresented during a hearing to clarify the power two attorneys have over her son`s estate, but it didn`t stop the judge from issuing orders upholding those powers and adding new ones.

The new authority given the administrators by Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff on Thursday included not having to seek permission from the judge to make routine decisions on various administrative matters involving the estate of Michael Jackson. Katherine Jackson has hired a new attorney, Adam Streisand, to represent her in the probate case, but Beckloff was told he did not attend the Thursday hearing because of a paperwork problem.
