Sharpton said one of Katherine Jackson's biggest priorities is going to be getting her three grandchildren acclimated to the scrutiny that comes from being Michael Jackson's children. Jackson, according to the source, bequeathed everything he owned to his mother Katherine, three children, and charitable organizations. Longtime Jackson attorneyJohn Branca and John McLain, a friend and music executive, are the named executors. Its worth has been estimated at as much as $2 billion.Ī hearing to consider those requests has been scheduled for Monday.Ī source confirmed that Jackson drafted a will in 2002 and the document will filed in court as early as Wednesday. The catalog contains legendary music from the Beatles, and Bob Dylan, as well as new acts such as the Jonas Brothers. The judge's ruling did not cover Jackson's financial assets, which includes his stake in the Sony-ATV Music publishing catalog. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff ruled that, at least for now, Katherine Jackson would get custody of his three children, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., known as Prince Michael, 12 Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson, 11 and Prince Michael Jackson II, 7.īeckloff also made Katherine special administrator of the property pending a hearing July 6. Though the family's grief is palpable, Sharpton said, there is "a spirit of 'We've got to move on and protect Michael's legacy.'"Īnd that legacy includes three young children, now in the custody of their grandmother. Sharpton, who has known the family for more than three decades and has spent time with the Jacksons since Michael Jackson's death last week, described Jackson's mother as a "rock."
