Michael Jackson's Estate in Court

61. Since Michael and Debbie were married at the time two of the kids were born, I don't think he had to adopt them.

62. DID YOU MEAN PETITION ASKS KATHERINE BE NAMED ADMINISTRATOR OF ESTATE - NOT OF WILL SINCE THERE IS NO WILL? IF THERE IS A WILL IT WOULD NAME AN EXECUTOR OF WILL & COULD NAME GUARDIAN OF MINOR CHILDREN.

63. Vultures? Roaches? I think a lot of readers are being particuularly hard on the Jackson family.
There is nothing unusual about a family wanting to do their own autopsy. David Carradine's family did a second autopsy. I haven't heard anyone calling his family vultures. I don't blame the family for filing to be the administrator of his estate. It's already been reported that the family doesn't know who MJ's business manager is. MJ had so many leeches in his employ , no one knows if someone else -- who might not have MJ's or his kids' best interests at heard -- will come forward and try to become the administrator -- a lawyer or a business manager or that shady Dr. Tohme (who really isn't a doctor.)

Look at the attorney who is filing the will with the court. If he had a will, the proper protocol would have been to inform the family that he had the will, then, file it. The fact that he didn't inform the family is very suspect.

I do, however,wish that the court would make Janet the adminstrator of the estate, because she doesn't need any of Michael's money and she is used to dealingw with record companies and contracts. Settling the estate will be a logistical nightmare. It will be a full-time job for about at least a year. How will Katherine have time to do this and raise three kids??!!

64. So greedy. The man is not even buried yet..... He was so right about his family. The people who will suffer the most will be his children..... Oh, Michael .... hoping that you are not seeing what they are doing to your memory and to your kids. REST IN PEACE.... WE LOVE YOU, ALWAYS.

65. I hate to say this (because I hate this lawyer) but Debbie Rowe needs a high caliber attorney like Gloria Allred to combat against the Jackson Family

66. WHY DOESN`T THE GOD FATHER ( MARK LESTER) GET THE CHILDREN, OBVIOUSLY MICHAEL TRUSTED HIM. AND HE IS WELL EDUCATED LIVES OUT OF THE U.S. MAYBE THAT WILL GIVE THE CHILDREN A CHANCE TO GROW UP HEALTH AWAY FROM THE PAPPARAZZI

67. LOL the Jacksons were down at the courthouse frst thing Monday morning, thinking they could call the shots.

Now it turs out there is a will LOL. The lawyer has 30 days to file the will with the court. This will proceed in an orderly fashion,

The kids should get everything for their suffering in this crazy family they're not even related to.

68. Debbie just needs a competent lawyer, that's all.

This is not a jury trial and the court will proceed, no matter how much the Jacksons bitch ad moan.

69. Well, I see it didn't take too long for all the bloodsuckers to jump on the "gimme gimme gimme" train. I see this dragging on for years, and in the end, the only people who will get any money at all will be the gazillion attorneys on all sides of the coin.

71. These people are sickly disfunctional. Poor Michael, poor children, He just died and they are out shopping, going to events. fighting for money. SAD!

72. I read on another dite that the house in Encino, or "the family compound" is actually part of Michael's estate because he actually owned the house, not the parents. Plus, it's upside down on the mortgage--it's mortgaged for about 1.2 million more than it's appraised value. How kind of Joe Jackson to welcome the three children into their own house that they're now paying for via their father's estate!

Plus, to be already talking about a "tribute tour" when his son is not even buried is beyond low. He is greedya nd needs the money. I suspect that Jackson badly needed the money from his tour just to stay afloat.

73. Well,

I HOPE he had a will and I HOPE he didn't leave 1 penny or 1 chair or 1 shoe for that matter, to those
NO GOOD ROTTEN STINKING PARENTS OF HIS.

They deserve zilch, that is ALL they are concerned with. I say they shouldn't be allowed to TOUCH his 3 children either, they will destroy them, just like they did their own kids. If I were Michael Jackson, I would be rolling in my grave thinking of what that man could do to my children.

His father, papa joe, is the scum of the earth. He is the lowest of low, heartless, good for nothing, a devil. He deserves NOTHING after what he put Michael Jackson through in his life. He deserves to be left with NOTHING and to rot in hell.
Also, not to bring race into this matter, but papa joe seems to be a bit of a racist. He used to tease michael about his n***er nose, etc. I don't think he would be very good to 3 children who look white and don't "preform" to earn him some money.

I despise that man. I don't say that lightly either, especially about someone I've never met but that man is pure evil.
It would be sweet revenge if Michael had a will, leaving the children to the nanny and not one penny to his parents.

75. Michael's manager Frank DiLeo was on the morning show, this is what he states....

"Strict provisions in will regarding finances for the children, for the mother, and who will get custody of the children in case of death"

You can see the interview from this morning here:
