No Second Jackson Will

Michael Jackson's willThere are all sorts of reports of a second Michael Jackson will -- we're told a second will does NOT exist.

We do know Jackson signed several wills prior to the one that was filed today in court. The will was signed in July, 2002 -- almost five months after Prince Michael Jackson II was born. We're told Jackson had wills before that but updated them after the birth of the third child.

The prior wills became null and void when Jackson signed the 2002 will.

1. Michael Jackson, to quote a lyric, from one of your songs...I want you to know, “You are not alone.” Not anymore. I believe you are now, the angel in heaven you sought so hard to be here on earth. You were so misunderstood, vilified, and beat upon. There was so much mockery and hatred of you, for only one reason. You’re goodness; your luminosity into the beautiful heart you believed could be in every man. You had such generosity, and tried so hard to teach others, to look into the soul. And to not judge based on color, creed or class.
But darkness, doesn’t like beauty to shine. It detracts so much from what it is trying to do. Create dark human less souls of us all. To replace the radiance that was born within all of us, by God. You spoke of nothing, but love and peace. Your light through your words, and music shone so bright. You’ve brought so much too so many, but only sought pure love for yourself. Your sensitivity brought ridicule. When all you wished most of all was to be embraced and understood. You had such a creative, gentle, kind spirit.
I think what personally stood out to me most of all; was your tender nature. Envy in other people mistook that for weakness, when in reality it is strength. The force of who you were was so strong. Many people wish to have that, but could never achieve it. So they became jealous and spiteful towards your achievements.
We are all afforded different opportunities in life. Instead of being envious, they should have rejoiced with you, in your success and in your life.

10. When will you post the trust documents? The will looks succinct & tight. MJ's got good executors & one, an accountant - smart move. I heard Joel Katz is helping Branco. Joel is a good man. Hope they sue some of these websites allowing libelous posts to stay up. It should be a duty of the trust to protect the image. Anyway - this is my real wish: Since the music lives forever, Sony, iTunes, Amazon, et al – should provide that a percentage of their gross MJ profits should go to feed/help children (UNICEF?) because the fans are buying – in the case of Record companies/Distributors make it permanent like J.M. Barrie did in 1929 when he specified copyright of the Peter Pan works should go to the UK’s leading children’s hospital, Great Ormond Street Hospital. And no matter what anyone’s feelings for Michael, his legacy would still be helping children. In fact it becomes everyone’s legacy. It’s about the good this can do for a long time, just like Peter Pan does. So whenever the children need – we’ll be there. It’s as simple as ABC :) Make it happen so we can “make that change”.

11. If you check the net for Michael Jackson Will you will notice that after London tabloids announced in Jan tthat MJ had a lung disease and that it would kill him in 6 months. They soon later announce he had a new will or amended will that gave Paul McCartney a chance to buy back the Beatles catelog, because MJ didn't want him to go to his grave with sir paul mad at him. I believe there is another will written around that time and may possibly be overseas. It's hard to believe he didn't make a new assessment of his life after 2005 molestation trail, where many of the people that had been his friends even after 95 trial, turned against him or just remained quite. There is a post 2005 will out there, someone is hiding it possibly, but it will surface.

12. The will is just fine.

It is a standard "pour-over" will to dump assets into a trust.

The details of the trust remain private.

If mom really is a beneficiary, I bet she's an income-only beneficiary due to her age, health, and the fact she and dad went bankrupt only a few years before MJ created these final estate plans.

15. Here is the drama of what happened:
- Jackson's Doctor injected him with Propofol and was monitoring him sleep,
- Jackson stoped breathing & passed out! The Dr. freaked! took 30min to hide the IV and all what was there to inject Propofol
- After, he went to call security and do CPR

This is WHAT HAPPENED :(
