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.

31. I don't understand that the will hasn't been read yet. All the stipulaions are there. Executor, handling of the estate etc etc.

The mother is concerned about looting yet she sends two trucks the very next day after his death. Then his sister shows up with another truck.

The looting has already started.

This will be a joke. One will contest this and another will contest that. They're all going to come out of the woodwork.

Pathetic family.

32. I don't think people(atty) should be talking about contents of a will before it is filed. Not sure if this is true or not but it would only make sense he would name his mom and kids. He knows his mom would then leave her part to his kids so they really would get it all which they should. I just hope the court takes into account at the age of the children they are old enough to say who they would be comfortable to live with which I think would be KJ but if this will exists and it was done in 2002 which possibly was after Prince II was born he also designated who he wanted to raise the kids. I really don't know why the lawyer is waiting to file within 30 days anyway because this will be a long probate.

33. There is a god!! Yes! Send that pimp- suit wearing, tricked out in diamonds, 79 year old man who seems stuck in the '80s, back to the hole he crawled out from.

# 4, Shaniqua, the media is reporting that Joe and Katherine live apart. He lives in Vegas and she lives at the housine in Encino, CA.

34. This news is a big bowl of ice cream. Mrs. Jackson kicking Joe to the curb would be the cherry on top!

35. Well done Micheal! I must say his family is more concerned about his money and things he owned then sharing some emotions about his death. Cant speak for his mom I thinks she cries inside so hard.
Now I read his sister maby will take over the concert. Yeah right now he's dead she wants to make money with his convcert and she will be in the picture and that gives me not a good feeling.
FCOL its all about the darn money. Yeas there must be a tribute to Michael but does it has to be done by his sister ?

43. If he left money to Mom you bet it will go straight to Dad. I cannot understand why the wait on the revealing of the will. It needs to be filed NOW before the money gets handed out and custody, it makes me think there really is not one. I don't understand why the brothers and sisters have not stepped up to the plate and offered to take the children instead of leaving it up to Mom. Those poor Jackson children are still scared of the Father and shame on the Mom for letting it happen. I can only say to the Jackson children get a backbone and do the right thing.

44. God, I hope this is really true! He is a disgusting human being and he needs to crawl back under the rock he came from. He's free loaded his whole life off of Michael and now the gravy train has come to an end.....I hope!
