Michael Jackson's Will Surfaces

Michael JacksonWe've learned 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.

46. Hired only 3 weeks ago? And the doctor was hired 11 days before his death? This all seems a bit fishy to me... was he planning his death?

47. My mistake. I meant #21
Michael, you were too good for this world. When we listen to you now in interviews, we see that the reason so many hated you is because your innocence and genuine love for the world reminded us all of the jealousy, bitterness, paranoia, arrogance and selfishness that exists in ourselves. Rest in Peace.

49. So is Paul getting the Beatles catalogue back or what?

MJ said he was gonna put that in his Will.

50. Well, Joe certainly implied that MJ was bigger than Jesus in an earlier comment when he said that MJ was the biggest "superstar" in history.

That's gonna come back and bite you in the ass, Joe. As well it should.

51. Where is Brian Oxman?

Posted at 1:47PM on Jun 29th 2009 by MJ is King of Pop and Love.

52. He's got a kid stashed in that cleft in his chin (I read it in The Sun). I hope someone checked that out at the morgue.

53. I hope he named a guardian for the kids, and that his nutty parents don't get them!

54. To MJFAN4LIFE30, if you're referring to my reference, I said no one really knows. You don't, I don't, but if there was some funny business going on, you can bet the children know and MJ knew. You need to face facts...MJ while a great entertainer was an oddball. Oftentimes, that's what money and fame does to a person, but then there are those with money and fame who live modest, normal lives.

55. It was stated in WIKI that Michael was going to leave Paul the catalog....apparently that paragraph there has been removed or updated. As I understand it SONY owns half of it.

56. Oh give me a break about how bad his parents are feeling! How bad was Michael feeling when he was beaten and abused by his wacked out parents?!

57. Perhaps he knew that this was the end for him. This reads like a last ditch effort to rehire a lawyer that he trusted. But my guess is that it was still too late.

58. The will reads: I leave everything I owe to my family.

59. Do they even still own Neverland? You know they will push for Michael to be buried there and then turn the place into a muesum/amusement park.. charge $50 a head and have their own 'Graceland' money maker. I hope the will specifies that the kids get everything tied to his name and image as well as his worldly possessions, and that the court appoints some sort of overseerer to make sure their inheretance isn't sold off for years so they are left with nothing once they become adults.

60. I think Michael was taken too soon, 50 years is young these days. He was my first ever interest in music when i was a young boy in the 80's, I imitated his dance moves, i wore the red leather jacket and danced for all my neighbors. he was a huge influence on me I looked upto him like we all did back then, those are the memories i have of Michael not the Michael of latter days with all the crap people dragged him thru with lawsuits and lies. an yes I feel like rich high maintenance cum rags like paris and lindsey deserve to die. these bitches take their lives for granted with all the opportunities they have in life and what do they do? kill themselves everyday by drugs drinking sex std's these bitches should just die and save us the drama.
