Michael Jackson’s Will — Update

By Gerry W. Beyer

Jackson_Micheal Earlier on this blog, I discussed Michael Jackson’s alleged will.

Here is an update based on Source says Jackson will gives mom custody, MSNBC.com, July 1, 2009:

  • Michael Jackson’s mother (Katherine Jackson) is named as the guardian of his three children.

  • All of his assets are left in trust.

  • Filing of the will is expected to occur today (July 1, 2009).

  • Burial at the Neverland Ranch may not be possible due to state law.

Special thanks to Neda Jahansouz (J.D. 2009, Texas Tech University School of Law) for being the first reader to bring this article to my attention.
