Court to Hear Joe Jackson’s Request for Monthly Allowance from Son’s Estate

This week the Los Angelos Superior Court judge presiding over the probate and administration of Michael Jackson’s estate will conduct a hearing on Joe Jackson’s request for a monthly allowance from his son’s estate.  The estate opposes the monthly allowance of $15,000 because Joe Jackson was not dependent on his son nor was he included in his son’s will.
