If he'd lived, Brian would have had the taxman after him. He was heavily in debt at the time of his death and even a pay off (which Klein would have probably resisted) wouldn't have covered all his liabilities.
And unlike his former band mates, his earning power was significantly reduced.
With his legal problems any escape to a tax haven might have been problematical.

Spot on, jlowe .
No misterious assumptions or hints. That was Brian's near future problem in 1969. Prince Rupert was able to "get the Rolling Stones out of the UK" in time in 1971. The band otherwise would have had major tax problems. The early 1971 "Goodbye Britain" tour wasn't just only for fun! Any kind of support like that would have been out of the question for Brian, had he lived. Klein? No way.
