How is the state going to get any of his estate?

I see nothing like that at all.

Well clearly it is the state taking over his estate!  Just read the second paragraph!

Quote:In Minnesota's state capital of St. Paul, legislative committees are planning hearings on a bill to clarify the rights of artists to control the commercial use of their names, likenesses and images — and extend those protections to an artist's heirs.

Oh...wait....

Michael Jordan is blacker, richer, and younger.  I'll bet he has his estate planning in order..

When I see people who can't have a properly planned estate it always amazes me.   What was his attorneys doing all these years?
