Michael's Will! Who Gets What!

Filed under: Legal Matters > Michael Jackson

amichael_jackson_death_18_w.jpg

Michael definitely had favorites!!!!

According to his will, Michael Jackson's assets will be placed in a family trust, but there are more beneficiaries than first reported.

The Michael Jackson Family Trust, which is said to be valued at $500 million, will be disbursed between his children and his mother Katherine.

Six relatives, which include his brother Tito's three sons, are listed as contingent remainder beneficiaries. Basically, they'd only share the estate if Michael's children or Katherine passed away before Michael did.

Just Tito's family?!

Jackson's wish was for his mother to be appointed guardian of his kids, but in the case that it was not possible, singer Diana Ross would look after them!!!!

That would prove to be interesting!

    If he really is $400,000,000 in debt, AND the trust was made up AFTER he knew he was in debt, I believe that the creditors can get a piece of it. It's only safe if he put the money aside into the trust before he was in debt to the creditors from what I understand.

    Tito's sons are in the music business, and from what I remember, they are extremely close to Michael. They even performed and wrote songs together back in the late 90s!

    They are the group 3T!

    No love for Jermajesty? That's fucking cold.



  4. 4

    Excuse me, but why Diana Ross?



  5. 5

    No idea why anyone would put children in MJ's trust in the first place.



  6. 6

    Well, it seems like MJ was very willing to share his things. :)

    I think Michael admired how Diana Ross has raised her 5 children. It is well known how she is an exceptional mother to her kids who have all turned out quite well. He must have really loved her.



  9. 9

    Tito's son are the group called 3T'S remember from the 90's song "Anything" ?

    You still on MJ…Karl Malden died!

    this is so tragic. theres so many stories coming out about him now that he's gone– and one things thats common between them all is that Michael felt very alone, like no one understood him and he didnt know who to trust & would put his trust into the wrong people quite often. i feel the very same way ALOT of the time, and i sometimes wonder if there are people out there who feel this way and would understand where im coming from completely. when i was like 4 or 5 i fell in love with Michael Jackson. and i just wish from the very essence of my heart that i could have had the priveledge of being one of the people to enter his life… i would not have failed him, thats for sure. it sucks–this feeling of wishing you could have helped someone, knowing you would have done everything in your power to do so, but then again–also knowing you never ever would have even had the opportunity to meet the man. :-( poor michael :-(

  19. 19

    all you do is sit on your lard ass all day eating ding-dongs and copying latest celebrity gossip from other blog sites.



  20. 20

    Tito is the only jackson that looks normal.



  21. 21

    We can believe what we wanna believe. I'm so done with the ignorance of people calling him a pedophile. He was aquitted, and the boy recently came out and said he lied. But whatever, let your ignorance tell you whatever. All I know is that I have a heart, and I love Michael and will miss him very much. He will live on in his music. And Fuck you Perez. You trash-talked this man before he was dead, now you wanna "clean it up"? Fuck you Perez! You're a wannabe-nobody. He might be in debt, but he's still worth WAY more than you. And people actually know his name. I mean everybody. You're just jealous of him.



  22. 22

    OMG WTF!
    diana ross?!?!
    wow



  23. 23

    people have some freakin respect, someone just passed he was a family member and icon to many…he will be missed cause there will never be another like him

    Re: C o n c r e t e*R o s e

    You sound like a retard and complete loser in life

  25. LEECH says – reply to this

    Perez, you have it wrong. The Trust is dispersed ONLY to Katherine and his three kids. The other releatives are "contingent beneficiaries" meaning they get money if/when the original beneficiaries die.



  26. 26

    Michael didn't 'bend over' Titos' sons tooooo? Did he?
    Maybe that's why Tito stopped talking to him?

    Oh - Micheal was a pedophile…I'd kinda stay clear of that too…

    Love ya - just don't want to watch ya 'handle' the kids?

    dunno…



  27. 27

    Oh, shush. How are you gonna judge his will? I'm quite sure he had his reasons. Lots of people leave things to specific family members. It sure as hell doesn't mean he hated the rest of his family. It MEANS he had a reason for leaving them what he left them. And it's getting really tiresome seeing everyone judge every single thing that the man has done.

    Re: Bö!!!SEMICOLON!!!rte Petrarchia
    Diana and Michael were very close. He lived with her when he first moved to California. She is also known to be a very good mother to her 5 children. I am sure Michael saw this and that's why he chose her. He was also close to Liz and Liza but I don't think those two are suitable to raise children. I think Diana was a smart choice.

    Re: JoJoStar – and for some reason you come to his site to read them all…hmmmm



  30. 30

    Re: creepyoldguy1 – actually i just have a big heart and am very compassionate… obviously a few things you lack since you come to this site to read it and trash people's opinions. so pathetic, old man. poor little fella…



  31. 31

    i think the amount of people who leave nasty comments on here is fuckin hysterical…about how much they hate perez, this site, and his "news"…. because you have to SIGN-UP for a PEREZ HILTON account in order to BECOME A MEMBER and READ THE STORIES and WRITE COMMENTS….

    if you all cant stand him so much—why the fuck r u all on this site?!?! we dont like you either!



  32. 32

    that seems weird. Katherine is 79 and Diana is in her 60s. Seems like Janet would be the natural choice. They were best friends growing up and she is the youngest member of his immediate family.



  33. 33

    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.



  34. 34

    Re: BetterFasterStronger – YOU PEOPLE! Why are you so mad at Perez?? He had a point,,,he was wrong just like many other tabloids are wrong sometimes…He updated it and changed things to up to date blogs. He's only human, he makes mistakes (just like MJ). Now get over it!
