Nothing for his father in Michael Jackson’s 2002 will

Nothing for his father in Michael Jackson’s 2002 will

The 50-year-old pop legend - who died after suffering a cardiac arrest- left his entire estate to his mother Katherine, three children Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and seven-year-old Prince Michael II and several charities, according to a will made in 2002.

America's prestigious business newspaper the Wall Street Journal reports the will is the last one Michael made. The fact that he didn’t give anything to his father is not odd since the star had a troubled relationship with his father and had accused him of physical abuse during his childhood.

It is expected Michael's lawyer John Branca (who stopped working with
Michael in 2006 but was reportedly rehired three weeks ago) could hand the document to the Los Angeles Superior Court on July 1.
Although, in a petition filed by Michael's parents on June 29, they claimed their son died "intestate", meaning without a will. Joe and Katherine's lawyer L. Londell McMillan claims neither of Michael's parents have seen the 2002 document.

The 2002 document seems to name Branca and music executive John McClain, who were friends with Michael, as executors.
Michael died with a debt of around $500 million, but his assets could worth around $700 million.

Katherine was given temporary custody of Michael's children yesterday, but she was denied temporary guardianship of the children's estate.
