The last will of Michael Jackson, the legal declaration by which a person, the testator, names one or more persons to manage his or her estate and provides for the transfer of his or her property at death, has been made available to the public after it was officially filed in court today in order for MJ‘s last wishes for his estate to be carried out. For the most part, the will offers no real surprises but a couple of interesting caveats. The will states that MJ‘s mother Katherine should gain guardianship of his three children but in the case of her death or inability to care for the children, it was MJ‘s wish that Diana Ross be nominated to care for the children instead. Also, the will makes plainly clear that NO PROVISIONS AT ALL are to be made for MJ‘s ex-wife Debbie Rowe. It seems very odd to me that he would decide to make no provisions for the mother of his two eldest children. Here is the first page of MJ‘s will along with some other deets from the document:

Michael Jackson’s will has been filed with the court. Jackson asks that his mother, Katherine, be made the guardian of all three of his kids. The will says if Katherine died before him or couldn’t serve as guardian, he nominated Diana Ross. And there’s a petition filed along with the will, saying Jackson’s estate is worth more than $500,000,000. The petition says almost all of the estate “consists of non-cash, non-liquid assets, including primarily an interest in a catalog of music royalty rights which is currently being administered by Sony/ATV, and interests in various entities.” As we first reported, the will leaves everything to the Michael Jackson Family Trust, stating, “I give my entire estate to the Trustee or Trustees…” The will declares that Jackson is not married. The will names John Branca, John McClain and Barry Siegel as co-Executors. Branca was Jackson’s lawyer, McClain is a music exec and Siegel was Jackson’s accountant. But Siegel resigned from his role as executor in 2003. Branca and McClain just released the following statement: “The most important element of Michael’s will is his unwavering desire that his mother, Katherine, become the legal guardian for his three children.”

It was widely reported before his death that Michael Jackson “promised” to relinquish control of the publishing rights to the Beatles music catalog (which he acquired in the 80s after he outbid Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono for those rights at auction when they went up for sale) upon his death … as yet, no such provision has been found anywhere in MJ‘s will. My guess is that the relinquishment of those publishing rights to their rightful owners (ie. the Beatles) will never happen. If you are at all interested in reading all 5-pages of MJ‘s last will you can download a copy HERE and check it out for yourself. Honestly, there’s nothing really of surprising note in the doc. As mentioned above, it seems that the overriding concern in the document is the care of his three children.
