Katherine Jackson Can Challenge Administrators

The probate judge in the Michael Jackson estate case has ruled Katherine Jackson can challenge the special administrators and not forfeit her position as a beneficiary in Michael's will.

Katherine Jackson

As a result of the ruling, Katherine can now safely challenge special administrators John Branca and John McClain without jeopardizing her position in the will -- she's set to get 40% of the net value of the estate.

The will has a "no contest" clause -- which means any beneficiary who contests the will gets aced out of inheriting anything. But the court has now ruled challenging the special administrators is not a "contest" of the will itself.

Interestingly, the court specifically ruled .... Katherine objecting to the special administrators on grounds there was some sort of "undue influence" imposed on M.J. is not a "contest" under the will.

4. Michael Jackson is not dead! There are pics of him on the stretcher being taking into UCLA, he is sitting up. How can a dead man sit up and lift his head? The pics are on MJHD.com and ETonline. Dr Murray is also in the pics!

11. A fool and their money will soon be parted. Micheal knew what he was doing by leaving his attorneys in charge. They are having already made his estate solvent with more deals to come. This opens the door for Joe and Jermaine to blunder what they can. Sorry Mrs Jackson but I don't think you nor anyone in your family except Janet has can really put a deal together without being sued. Poor children I can see their money gone before they are teenagers so that the rest of the family does not have to work. Spend your time on who murdered Micheal.

13. “Animals strike, not from Malice, But because they want to live, it is the same’ with those who Criticize, they desire our Blood, not our pain. But still I must achieve I must seek truth in all things. I must endure for the power, I was sent forth, for the world, for the children. But have Mercy, for I’ve been Bleeding a long time now.” By {Michael Jackson}

14. Also,did the judge say he wanted to revisit the amount because others may be living off the money? that seems inconsiderate to me

15. I really don't want her to do this because it is already set up how Michael wanted it to be!

I love you more Michael!
