Judge Grants Katherine Jackson Temporary Control Of Neverland

As of Wednesday afternoon, Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson was granted limited control of 2,000 items from Neverland Ranch until the next hearing on Monday. The judge is hoping that the time will help facilitate a compromise between Katherine's legal team and the two co-executors of Michael Jackson's will — lawyer John Branca and John McClain, a music executive and a family friend

The items in question had been slated for auction earlier this year, but the sale was stopped after Jackson sued. Now, Katherine retains a "slim" authority over the items. Branca and McClain attempted to overturn the ruling, saying the authority was "granted on the mistaken assumption that Jackson died without a valid will." But the judge said he saw no urgency to give the executors authority over the Neverland items at the present time.

The hearing on Monday will go into more depth about the extent of Jackson's personal and business finances.

It's good Katherine holds onto the property for as long as she can. The second it leaves the Jackson family, we foresee the auction reassembling without delay!

      PEREZ…..you must be kidding!!! Let the Jacksons keep the property…lol That whole family are "leaches" and "bottom feeders". Michael is having the last laugh, he hired and appointed, JOHN BRANCA, JOHN McCLAIN and BARRY SEGAL. That has shut Joe Jackson mouth.

      If they are smart, they will get the people behind Graceland to turn Neverland into something like that. It would probably sustain itself and become lucrative that way. Don't let any of the Jackson's brother's or Joe try to control it: that would be a disaster…

      Perez, you shouldn't write about Michael Jackson until you apologize for accusing him of faking his death in the first place. Take responsibility for what you've said.

      What they need to do is turn Neverland into a tourist attraction like Graceland b/c MJ got mouths to feed and bills to pay. Also the fans just loves him!!! They have to completely restore it to the way it was when Michael was at his peak though w/ the zoo and all. Where Bubbles at btw?

      I am proposing a movement. I ask for the support of all reasonable people in getting Perez punched in the face as often as possible. Violence is the answer, as clearly nothing bothers him more than being physically threatened. Perez understands that as long as a situation remain verbal that he has the advantage as he can simply retreat to his personal forum to spew his hypocrisy and hate. He gets off on creating a response, in harming others from a position where he is aware they are unable to retaliate. Join me in making the world a better place, let us all punch Perez in the face.
