Michael's Estate and co. VS. Janet and co.

The fact that they are grown people tweeting back and forth with a 14 yr old is disturbing. His fans are morons

A lot of them are actually unwell......some are convinced that Janet was planning to snatch the kids and hide them away in the middle east lol

Jermaine, Randy and Janet Jackson: Banned From Katherine Jackson's House!

The Jackson family feud has simmered down somewhat, but relations are still icy as four of Michael's siblings are now banned from their mom's house.

Michael Jackson's kids Prince, Blanket and Paris Jackson - subjects of a bizarre custody feud - are currently staying at Katherine Jackson's L.A. home.

The kids' cousin and temporary guardian, T.J. Jackson, has been advised by lawyers for the Michael Jackson estate on who should not be allowed in.

As such, Jermaine, Randy, Rebbie and Janet Jackson have been 86'd.

T.J.'s lawyer Charles Shultz says he's instructed the security team accordingly and his actions are "in compliance" with a judge's orders, not arbitrary.

Those on the not-allowed list were either present on July 23 "or in some way participated in the events surrounding that date," Shultz stated.

It was then that Jermaine, Randy and Janet Jackson arrived at Katherine's home and allegedly tried to physically remove Prince, Paris and Blanket.

Randy, Jermaine, Janet and sister Rebbie Jackson have been accused by some of being motivated by money to separate Katherine from the kids.

Michael's will, which left his estate to his children and provided an ample allowance to their guardian (Katherine), obviously stands in their way.

Since Michael's death in 2009, Katherine Jackson had been receiving a monthly allowance of $86,000 as guardian of Prince, Paris and Blanket.

For the time being, that sum goes to T.J. Jackson.

All this ongoing drama to take the focus off the will. I believe Jermaine.

Evidence is sparse that Michael Jackson’s will is a fake

by Kevin Noble Maillard | July 31, 2012 at 8:31 AM

Is Michael Jackson’s will valid? It depends on who you ask. Janet, Randy, Rebbie, and Jermaine Jackson argue that the executors of their late brother’s estate falsified the will. Their primary argument centers on the discrepancy between the date of the will’s execution and Jackson’s location at that time it was signed. The will was executed on July 7, 2002 in Los Angeles, the same weekend that Michael Jackson was reportedly in New York City. Randy Jackson observed in an interview on Politics Nation with Al Sharpton on MSNBC that Michael “cannot be in two places at one time.”

Even Al Sharpton attested to Michael’s location. “He was in fact in Harlem with me that weekend. That Saturday he was there,” Sharpton concurred on his show. “That Sunday we were out together, and that Monday, he was with Johnny Cochran and I.”

The siblings strongly argue that the conflict of Michael’s location and the stated place of execution proves that the will is false. They claim they are not interested in money, but rather in the proper administration of the estate. In his MSNBC interview, Randy Jackson said that the executors are “using the children to try and put pressure on my mom to try and come out and get her to say things in their favor to kind of clean up their image. They know that they’ve been caught. They know that they falsified a document. And they know that there are questions we want answered.”

Yet, executors John Branca and John McClain insist that their actions are in alignment with Michael’s testamentary intent and his children’s beneficiary interests. In other words, they are just doing their job to see that Michael Jackson’s will is carried out. They have a special duty to serve the interests of the people named in Michael Jackson’s will (which was accepted as valid by the courts): Katherine, Prince, Paris, and Blanket Jackson.

In many will contests, family members feel entitled to object to the distribution of the estate. Siblings, also known as collateral heirs, often object when disinherited. In reality, not even children are entitled to distribution, as the selection of beneficiaries is entirely left up to the testator. The only person entitled to a minimum share is a surviving spouse, which Jackson did not have. So, the Jackson siblings have no claim on Michael’s estate on the basis of kinship ties.

In addition, no part of Jackson’s will or family trust includes his brothers and sisters. His will makes no mention of his siblings, and neither does his trust—two different documents, both signed on different dates. Michael’s will is actually very short, and only names his executors, beneficiaries, and intention to create a trust. The will directs his executors to “pour” all of his property into the trust, which is a separate written document that goes into much greater detail about distribution. Like the will, the trust—which is uncontested—leaves nothing to his siblings.

The Jackson siblings may have standing to object to the will as blood relatives, yet their brother had no intention of an estate plan that included them. Because there are two documents that fail to mention the siblings, the validity scale tips in favor of Michael Jackson’s executors, because all of Jackson’s actions show that he wanted to provide only for his mother and children.

The siblings are placing a lot of weight on the will’s signature to prove or disprove validity, which is unlikely to be the sole factor of consideration. In order to assess the validity of a will, courts look to extrinsic evidence. This allows a court to resolve any ambiguities, like a flawed description, an incorrect address, or a questionable signature. There would have to be much more extrinsic evidence demonstrating that the current will did not represent the interests of the testator than just the location question.

The trust instrument, dated March 2002, coincides with the intent of the will, dated July 2002. Seven years passed between the execution of the will and Jackson’s death. The named beneficiaries—Michael’s Jackson’s children—are the unsurprising recipients of the testator’s bounty in both the will and the trust documents. Right now, the extrinsic evidence in the form of the trust puts more weight in favor of the will being authentic.

The siblings may argue that the executors replaced Michael’s interests with their own in a falsified version of the will, but they lack sufficient evidence to prove that Michael wanted anything other than to leave everything to his kids with his mother to guide them. His brother’s intent is clear, even if the nature of the signature is ambiguous.

Janet Jackson Denies Altercation with Paris. Janet is threatening legal action http://www.theinsider.com/gossip/54325_J....kson/index.html …

[Rock & Roll Hall of Game]

Last week, internet rumors surfaced concerning an alleged altercation between Janet Jackson and her niece Paris. Today, Janet Jackson's attorney, Blair G. Brown, tells The Insider that Janet vehemently denies the altercation.

"Ms. Jackson did not slap Paris, and did not call her a 'spoiled little bitch' or a 'bitch,'" says Brown.

According to Brown, Janet is threatening legal action towards the source that originally reported the claims. Brown says that the "false statements are highly damaging to Ms. Jackson's reputation and have caused her significant harm."

since people don't know how to copy and paste

[henrietta.]

Bam! Janet's had enough.

[DasSad]

She shouldn't have to do that. All she needs is for Lindsey Lohan 2.0 to tweet My aunt did not hit me or call me a bitch. The media is all over her page anyway so that would take care of that.

LMAO

Paris already confirmed that Janet didn't hit her

[Shawn1814]

You're very welcome. I agree with everything you said here. Just because Jermaine and Randy were Michael's family, doesn't mean they had his or now, his children's best interests at heart. No doubt, he was probably funding them and himself. I'm so glad the Estate is taking a lawsuit against him. Instead of Mr. Wildfire of Madness and Mr. This Is Not Over trying to box with the Estate they need to work with them to get evidence against Tohme. But we know why that won't happen. Janet really does need to distance herself. She shouldn't be so close to Randy like this, least of all with his record which is something else I can post.

Borrowed and upped her allowance constantly. And you're right, we know who it went to.

Actually you don't know who it went too...

What does that have to do with this? Randy, Jermaine, Austin(possibly) and Janet all went to that house and we have photo and security tape evidence. I'm not seeing where you're getting that from. That debate has gone on for 3 YEARS and the court already signed it off because one of the witnesses said under oath he mistakenly wrote LA since he lives in LA but that it did happen in NY. The court already signed off. Period. Plus, even IF that Will is fake, the '97 isn't and still nothing changes. So, your point? Also, if they were trying to keep them all safe then why take one away to a place they didn't say where not even to the kids, not let her talk to the kids, trying to take them later BUT show up with a camera crew, and then make her late for the custody hearing. Not to mention, none of the cops have reported talking to Katherine, only to her kids and then that written statement(which was stupid in itself) on TV. The LAPD weren't even allowed in to see her, what the hell? Janet's involvement perplexes me, but Randy's and Jermaine's are obvious.

Once again, the Executors have NOTHING to gain or to lose regardless of Katherine's position. Randy and Jermaine, do.

What camera crew??? Janet and Randy had their cell phones..

[Reyna ♔]

Actually you don't know who it went too...

Michael has been the main bread winner all his life for that family. Let's not play here.

There was a reported camera crew there. Aside from that. Can't confirm that, but one was reported.

[Reyna ♔]

Agreed. The mess they're causing here can't be good for her and has to only be stressing her out.

Also, just to add in general. Michael ALSO created a Trust naming Branca and McClain executors again which was signed on March 22, 2002. Trusts are stronger than Wills, as I hear, and there has been no question of the Trust's validity.

[aed05]

Michael has been the main bread winner all his life for that family. Let's not play here.

At the end of his life, MJ didn't have any bread to share.

Janet was taking care of Katherine and Rebbie for the last 10 years. It was Janet who got her the house in vegas, not MJ. Yes Michael sacrificed a lot for his family, but by the end he was not in a good place financially. And if there was a camera crew there, where is the footage of the fight? The money shot would be Janet slapping the piss out of Paris and Jermaine the raisin getting punched. This has yet to surface. Maybe cause the shit didn't happen. MJ stans are really trying it this week. They want to pretend like his family was his greatest downfall when they were not to blame for everything. This is the same family that stood behind him during TWO accusations of molestation. The same family that tried to stage TWO intervention to help him get off the drugs that would ultimately end his life. Most families would have washed their hands of him years ago.

Michael was a drug addict. Drug addicts make bad choices. nuff said.

Oh shit!!!!!! The cats out the bag now

You notice how the media isn't covering either Paris or janet denying all the violence and name calling? Janet gonna have to do an interview on 20/20.

Probably because they're covering their backs...everyone reported it. Reporting she's suing would show that the media lied.

It was probably reported by they same damn people that lied about Janet slapping Paris.. You saw the security footage and no one saw a camera crew..

We also saw all of them hugging and kissing MJ's kids before the alleged altercation happened..

And Randy and Janet are really close, if he REALLY needed anything I'm sure she would help him out.. I really don't know about Jermaine.. Rebbie has a husband that is pretty well off...

One more thing..

When that little heffa posted all that shit about her grandmother missing, Jermaine tweeted a couple days before that saying she was in AZ resting.. You don't find it strange that that little girl waited 9 days before over reacting on twitter???? If you look at her tweets before that there was no sign that something was going or that her grandmother was missing.

I also don't recall Randy or Jermaine saying that any part of his estate should go to them..
