Jackson Will -- No Notarization? No Problem

Michael Jackson Will --Katherine Jackson's lawyer is making noise that Michael Jackson's will may not be valid because it wasn't notarized. That's simply not the case.

Katherine's lawyer, Londell McMillan, issued a statement referring to a "suspicious circle of relationships" and an "unnotarized will."

But here's the deal. In California, a will does not have to be notarized to be valid. In fact, most formal wills are not notarized.

1. This story makes no sense..Katherine has everything why would she complain.

2. I don't understand why all the fighting over the will. As long as his mother is taken care of and his children get what is due to them , why contest the will ? Michael trust these men over family and friends. Michael must have known and trusted that they would do what he wanted them to.

3. This lawyer sounds like a real asshole. Hasn't the Jackson family realized yet that all he is going to do is rack up legal bills which MJ's estate will have to pay? In essence, he will be taking money away from Katherine and the kids. I smell Joe Jackson's hand in this.

4. Who were the three signatures on the will that were redacted? I can't believe she is really going down this road. She's not happy enough with 40% of 1/2 a billion (and then more when Team Branca makes them more money)?

GREEDY-- hope she is disinherited!

10. What the hell is wrong with his "perfect angel" of a mother? Why doesn't she just respect Michael's wishes? Jeez, the more I see this family the more I feel sorry for Michael.

13. Don't you have to be of sound mind and body?

1. No mind.

2. Mostly not his body.

14. ps THEY WANT TO CONTROL.. THEN CUT UP MJ'SS ASSETS AMONGST THEMSELVES!

end of story. as far as they are concern.. they are not interested in just living off it's income.


this was obvious-since they challenged the executors.

15. In reference to the third comment --

Michael did not know who to trust. If that's not becoming glaringly clear as this story develops, I don't know what is.
