Jackson's Dad Aced Out of Will

Michael Jackson signed a will in 2002 providing for his children and his mom, but leaving nothing to daddy Joe -- this according to the Wall Street Journal.

As we reported yesterday, attorney John Branca has the will and plans to file it with the court within 30 days of the singer's death. According to the will, Jackson reportedly left his estate -- estimated at $1 billion -- to his mother, three children and one or more charities.

As for why Joe was left out -- Jackson has said during his childhood his father beat him.

421. For all of you negative people out there, this is what I have to say and this is heavy on my heart. First of all neither one of you know them well enough to judge. I take pleasure in knowing that I have met this wonderful and talented family. Have some respect and decency to give to this family who is grieving and hurting really bad. I know what they are going through, I went through this almost two years ago with my brother who had full custody of his three daughters. The mother decided she wanted to step into the picture to get the girls back (the ones she willingly gave up as babies) because she did not want to be a mother. To this day we are still fighting for the girls. My sister has full custody but she is still trying to get them for the MONEY! My brother worked hard for his money and I feel the same for Mrs. Jackson and the kids, all of the money belongs to them. It was Michael who worked his butt off to get the money, why do you folks feel that someone else should come and steal from him his wealth. It's mighty strange for the two guys to come forth with a will written 8 days before Michael died and claim to have it all, were you all a part of giving him the drugs? I hope they prosecute every last doctor that ever wrote the prescriptions and administer drugs to Michael and I hope that all be held accountable for and charge with homicide, because that's what you all did to someone that I grew up with and admire so much. To Mrs. Jackson and the family may God continue to hold you in his wings until we all meet Michael again in the heavenly sky, stay focus and Keep On Holding Onto God's Unchanging Hands! I love you all!

422. Were you aware that Micheal owns the MJ Family home in Encino & all the vehicles there! None of that property is in Joe or Katherine's name... The only property they own is in Las Vegas, Nevada. Proof positive that Michael has been carrying this family financially for Years!!! Why should he leave Joe in charge when Joe filed BK in 1999. I wouldn't.

424. It's a shame that michael can't die in peace, as long as his kids are taken care everybody else needs to chill out.

428. Excuse me people but MJ only omitted Debbie Rowe from his will. Michael knew very well what his mother would do with money. Otherwise he would have stated to omit his father Joe, he did not. Nor did he include his siblings. That what a will gives, choices. Reading between the lines is futile.
