Rupert Murdoch is seeking to amend the terms of his family's trust to ensure that, upon his death, control of his media empire remains with his eldest son, Lachlan.
The family trust holds significant stakes in Fox and News Corp, and the upcoming court hearing will scrutinize Rupert Murdoch's intentions regarding succession and control.
A judge in Nevada has rejected an appeal from news organizations to open the hearings to the public, emphasizing the need to protect sensitive personal and financial details.
The existing trust structure could lead to a situation where three of Murdoch's children—more politically moderate than Lachlan—could potentially out-vote him, complicating the future of the empire.
