Jackson's Dad Aced Out of Will

Posted Jun 30th 2009 6:34AM by TMZ Staff

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.

62. Don't worry your little heads. Joe and Katherine are seperated. He is only there because of his son's passing, but he actually lives in Las Vegas and has for years.

64. Joe, did you hear that? Step away from the estate, you're not getting a penny for your damn record company! Sadly, I'm sure wifey will be "forced" to hand him over plenty from her share.

67. My boss just made a very valid point. Mrs Jackson is NOT DIVORCED from Joe. whats hers is His. Hmm..she may be right. In that case Joe Still gonna get paid. More so then his brothers. Buckle your seat belts..we are in for a bumpy ride because Joe aint about to take this lying down. watch and see. Hes a snake and is going to get his share as long as he is still married to his wife.

68. At near 80 years old...I don`t think mom or dad can handle it.I also don`t think his kid`s should be only with his parents at near 80.WHERE are his brothers and sisters? maybe that is why he never wanted to sing with them?.Jannet could be GODMOTHER garnd momma is near her end as is his father.HE should have forgave DAD and thanked him for giving him the BILLION in the first place

Posted at 9:29AM on Jun 30th 2009 by To forgive is?

69. If true, means his siblings will also inherit upon his mothers death. The parents have been living apart, her in CA and him in Las Vegas, NV. Bet he moves back in soon...lol

70. The Jacksons are all good they live comfortable the guys have business things of their own and succesful. They chose to get out of the spotlight thats all. And I'm sure janet and the other Aunts will be great at being Aunts to all the Jacksons neice and nephews. Jermaine is hooked up he married Berry Gordy's daughter back in the day and he has always been very comfortable. READ UP ON THE FACTS BEFORE YOU RUN OFF AT THE MOUTH HE IS NOT A CHILD MOLESTER

72. JOE JACKSON IS A VULTURE! He doesn't even care that Michael died...ALL he cares about is MONEY! The way he acted at BET was disgusting. So rude and cold and selfish. Can you imagine having this man as your father? Poor Jackson kids...no wonder they all have issues...I would too having to live with that cold-hearted, self-serving LEACH!

Posted at 10:10PM on Jun 30th 2009 by His dad is a vulture!

73. Michael left Joe out of his will because he BEAT him. This is the man that is now in charge of diciplining Michaels three children. Michael must be rolling over in his grave right now. I love Katherine and wish she would keep those lovely three souls away from that monster. Do you really think he will not hurt them?

74. Good.

75. I HOPE THE WILL HOLDS UP. JOE BETTER NOT BEAT HIS WIFE OR THOSE KIDS BECAUSE HE WANTS MONEY FROM THEM. WHEN JOE WENT TO THE AWARD SHOW HE PLUGGED HIS RECORD LABEL! JANET WAS ELECTED TO SPEAK FOR THE FAMILY! JOE WAS THERE AND JANET NEVER POINTED THAT OUT! JOE JACKSON SEEMED COLD AND NOT AT ALL MOURNFUL (IT SEEMED TO ME). AND TO SAY THAT BURING HIM AT NEVERLAND IS UNTRUE INSTEAD OF FANS SEEMED TO WANT THE PLACE HE LOVED PRESERVED AND AT THIS POINT IT ISN'T POSSIBLE ( WOULD HAVE SHOWED MORE RESPECT TO HIS SON). JOE NEEDS TO SHUT UP AND LET KATHERINE AND THE CHILDREN AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS SPEAK AND MAKE DECISIONS. WHEN I SEE JOE JACKSON I SEE DOLLAR SIGNS IN HIS EYES! RIP MICHAEL. WE WILL MISS YOU.
