Michael Jackson’s Estate Papers Filed in Court
Initial papers have been filed in the court for Michael Jackson’s estate. However it seems Jackson’s mom and dad don’t know Jackson had a will.
The petition was filed by Michael’s parents, Joe and Katherine Jackson. But here’s the thing. The papers say Jackson died “intestate” — that means, without a will.
But we’ve learned Jackson’s long-time lawyer, John Branca, who just came back on board 3 weeks ago, has a will Jackson signed that he intends to file within 30 days.
The petition asks that Katherine be named as administrator of the will … meaning she wants to call the shots.
The papers say Debbie Rowe will be served with notice of a hearing.
However TMZ report that Michael Jackson’s lawyer has a copy of the singer’s will and he intends to file it with the court.
We’re told the Jackson family doesn’t have a copy of the will in attorney John Branca’s possession. It’s unclear how many wills Jackson made but Branca believes it’s the most current.
Branca has a long history with Jackson. In 1985, Branca brokered the deal for Jackson to purchase The Beatles’ publishing catalogue.
Branca and Jackson stopped working together in 2006 but the singer hired him back just three weeks ago.
