Rupert Murdoch's move to change his irrevocable family trust aims to secure his son Lachlan's control of the media empire, ensuring a conservative editorial direction.
Murdoch's bid has triggered conflict with his other three children, who oppose alterations to the trust that would prioritize Lachlan's control over the family businesses.
The probate court proceedings remain closed to the public, reflecting the private nature of family disputes surrounding a media empire with significant political influence.
Rupert's decision to alter the trust after stepping down from leadership underscores his intent to preserve the commercial value of his media holdings for heirs.
