Will of Michael Jackson Found

The family of Michael Jackson believed that he died without a will. However, their lawyer said that he has one and suggested that there may be other wills that exist related to the late singer’s estate division.
The family attorney, L. Londell McMillan, said “I just saw his will this morning for the first time. We’re in the process of review. My various advisers are still looking for other additional documents. We wish that we have known it earlier.”
This will was drawn by John Branca in 2002. He’s the attorney of Michael Jackson from 1980 - 2006. It’s expected that he’ll submit the will to Los Angeles Superior Court by next week. Mr. Branca and John McClain, music executive and the singer’s long time friend, are the will’s executors.
According to the will, it’s clear that Jackson’s desire was for his mother to take guardianship of his children. His estate is also believed to be divided between his children, mother, and charities. They’re not expecting to see the name of his father, Joe Jackson, because they had some troubled relationship.
Although no further details were disclosed about the will’s content, it’s believed that its mere existence greatly affects the petition made by Katherine Jackson, his mother, to become the estate’s administrator.
