I think that's debatable. Example- if you believe what Michael publicly stated in the last days/months of his life, he had no knowledge of/interest in extending the London run from 10 shows to as many as 50. Of course he has people acting on his behalf, but AEG sure as hell wouldn't have committed to the project if they didn't have every assurance that they needed that Michael was on board for all 50.

When it comes to legal matters/contracts/obligations, Michael was no mastermind. You can't really presume anything with him.
