And So It Begins

Although lawyers for the Jackson family claim no will exists for the late Michael Jackson, a seven-year-old draft for a final testament surfaced yesterday.
The 2002 draft left his estate to his mother Katherine Jackson, his three children -- Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7 -- and at least one charity, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, wasn't listed as an heir.
The document also names attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain as executors of the estate. Branca was on retainer for Jackson from 1980 to 2006 and was rehired shortly before the singer's sudden death on Thursday.

Although Jackson reportedly died with approximately $500 million in debt, the value of his assets likely outweigh that by $200 million or more, sources told the paper.

Call my weird but I believe it's not going to be this easy, I think it will be getting nasty before it gets finalized. I just hope the children don't get caught up in the middle of all of it.
