Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

A Nevada probate commissioner ruled against Rupert Murdoch's initiative to amend his family trust to ensure his son Lachlan's control over their media assets. The court found that both Rupert and Lachlan acted in 'bad faith,' attempting to manipulate the trust to favor Lachlan despite the objections of his siblings, Prudence, Elisabeth, and James. The ruling described the proposed amendment as a 'carefully crafted charade' and emphasized the equal division of power among Murdoch's four children in the event of Rupert's passing. An appeal is planned by Rupert's legal team amid family tensions.
